More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
We ask for long life, but 'tis deep life, or noble moments that signify. Let the measure of time be spiritual, not mechanical.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The advantage of riches remains with him who procured them, not with the heir.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
That which we do not call education is more precious than that which we call so.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Take the place and attitude to which you see your unquestionable right, and all men acquiesce.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is saturated with Deity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wherever a man commits a crime, God finds a witness. Every secret crime has its reporter.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And dazzling memory revive.Refresh the faded tints, Recut the aged prints, And write my old adventures, with the pen Which, on the first day, drew Upon the tablets blue The dancing Pleiads, and the eternal men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
