More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
America is a country of young men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Infancy conforms to nobody all conform to it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must not tamper with the organic motion of the soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those who listened to Lord Chatham felt that there was something finer in the man, than anything which he said.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The greatest gift is a portion of thyself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When its errands are noble and adequate, a steamboat bridging the Atlantic between Old and New England, and arriving at its ports with the punctuality of a planet, is a step of man into harmony with nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world globes itself in a drop of dew.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is man born for but to be a Reformer, a Remaker of what man has made? A renouncer of lies a restorer of truth and good? Imitating that great Nature which embossoms us all, and which sleeps no moment on an old past, but every hour repairs herself, yielding us every morning a new day, with every breath a new life?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is virtue yet in the hoe and the spade, for learned as well as for unlearned hands. And labor is everywhere welcome alwayswe are invited to work.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every wall is a door.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some people will tell you there is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
That which we do not believe, we cannot adequately say even though we may repeat the words ever so often.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is methodical, and doeth her work well. Time is never to be hurried.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some eyes threaten like a loaded and levelled pistol, and others are as insulting as hissing or kicking some have no more expression than blueberries, while others are as deep as a well which you can fall into.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cheapness of man is every day's tragedy. It is as real a loss that others should be low, as that we should be low for we musthave a society.
