More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Manners have been somewhat cynically defined to be a contrivance of wise men to keep fools at a distance. Fashion is shrewd to detect those who do not belong to her train, and seldom wastes her attentions. Society is very swift in its instincts, and if you do not belong to it, resists and sneers at you, or quietly drops you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am become a transparent eyeball.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is easy to see that a greater self-reliance must work a revolution in all the offices and relations of men in their religion in their education in their pursuits their modes of living their association in their property in their speculative views.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To clothe the fiery thought In simple words succeeds, For still the craft of genius is To mask a king in weeds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Make yourself necessary to the world, and mankind will give you bread.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the eye which makes the horizon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
