More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Imitation cannot go above its model.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An answer in words is delusive it is really no answer to the questions you ask.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If any mention was made of homicide, madness, adultery, and intolerable tortures, we would let the church-bells ring louder, the church-organ swell its peal and drown the hideous sound. The sugar they raised was excellent: nobody tasted blood in it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What omniscience has music! So absolutely impersonal, and yet every sufferer feels his secret sorrow soothed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I would study, I would know, I would admire forever.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Labor is God's education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Could Shakespeare give a theory of Shakespeare?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The flowering of civilization is the finished man, the man of sense, of grace, of accomplishment, of social power--the gentleman.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When a dog is chasing after you, whistle for him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Classics which at home are drowsily read have a strange charm in a country inn, or in the transom of a merchant brig.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us advance on Chaos and the Dark
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As gas-light is found to be the best nocturnal police, so the universe protects itself by pitiless publicity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we can't piece together the puzzle of our own lives, remember the best view of a puzzle is from above. Let Him help put you together.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The great make its feel, first of all, the indifference of circumstances. They call into activity the higher perceptions, and subdue the low habits of comfort and luxury but the higher perceptions find their objects everywhere only the low habits need palaces and banquets.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Any work looks wonderful to me except the one which I can do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One single idea may have greater weight than all the men, animals, and machines for a century.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must not tamper with the organic motion of the soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Commit a crime, and the earth is made of glass.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature never rhymes her children, nor makes two men alike. When we see a great man, we fancy a resemblance to some historical person, and predict the sequel of his character and fortune, a result which he is sure to disappoint. None will ever solve the problem of his character according to our prejudice, but only in his high unprecedented way.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
