More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The inmost in due time becomes the outmost.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The fatal trait of the times is the divorce between religion and morality.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many eyes go through the meadow, but few see the flowers in it
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Treat your friend as a spectacle.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the ignorant and childish part of mankind that is the fighting part. Idle and vacant minds want excitement
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the king is in the palace, nobody looks at the walls. It is when he is gone, and the house is filled with grooms and gazers, that we turn from the people, to find relief in the majestic men that are suggested by the pictures and the architecture.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our friendships hurry to short and poor conclusions, because we have made them a texture of wine and dreams, instead of the toughfibre of the human heart. The laws of friendship are austere and eternal, of one web with the laws of nature and of morals.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning, and under every deep a lower deep opens.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Little minds have little worries, big minds have no time for worries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The kitchen clock is more convenient than sidereal time. We must use the popular category, as we do by the Linnæan classification, for convenience, and not as exact and final. Otherwise, we are presently confounded, when the best-settled traits of one race are claimed by some new ethnologist as precisely characteristic of the rival tribe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only reward of virtue is virtue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I shun father and mother and wife and brother, when my genius calls me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the devils respect virtue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Revolutions go not backward.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every genuine work of art has as much reason for being as the earth and the sun.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is dainty to be sick if you have leisure and convenience for it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no great and no small To the Soul that maketh all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is always known. Thefts never enrich alms never impoverish murder will speak out of stone walls.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We read often with as much talent as we write.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A forte always makes a foible.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
