More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The key to every man is his thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our fear of death is like our fear that summer will be short, but when we have had our swing of pleasure, our fill of fruit, and our swelter of heat, we say we have had our day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men lose their tempers in defending their taste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The foundation of culture, as of character, is at last the moral sentiment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The ancestor of every action is a thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Desire is possibility seeking expression.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The French woman says, 'I am a woman and a Parisienne, and nothing foreign to me appears altogether human.'
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best political economy is the care and culture of men for, in these crises, all are ruined except such as are proper individuals, capable of thought, and of new choice and the application of their talent to new labor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it, else it is none.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love should make joy but our benevolence is unhappy. Our Sunday-schools, and churches, and pauper-societies are yokes to the neck. We pain ourselves to please nobody.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I give you joy of your free and brave thought. I have great joy in it. I find incomparable things said incomparably well, as they must be. I find the courage of treatment which so delights us, and which large perception only can inspire.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every great man is a unique. The Scipionism of Scipio is precisely that part he could not borrow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The essence of greatness is the perception that virtue is enough.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our life is not so much threatened as our perception. Ghostlike we glide through nature, and should not know our place again.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is a god in ruins.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Washington, where an insignificant individual may trespass on a nation's time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Underneath the inharmonious and trivial particulars, is a musical perfection, the Ideal journeying always with us, the heaven without rent or seam.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live well, learn plenty, laugh often, love much.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
