More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Mankind have such a deep stake in inward illumination, that there is much to be said by the hermit or monk in defence of his life of thought and prayer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conservatism makes no poetry, breathes no prayer, has no invention it is all memory. Reform has no gratitude, no prudence, no husbandry.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not fear to put novels into the hands of young people as an occasional holiday experiment, but above all, good poetry in all kinds,--epic, tragedy, lyric. If we can touch the imagination, we serve them they will never forget it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whoever is open, loyal, true of humane and affable demeanour honourable himself, and in his judgement of others faithful to his word as to law, and faithful alike to God and man....such a man is a true gentleman.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The action of the soul is oftener in that which is felt and left unsaid than in that which is said in any conversation. It broods over every society, and men unconsciously seek for it in each other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The senses collect the surface facts of matter... It was sensation when memory came, it was experience when mind acted, it was knowledge when mind acted on it as knowledge, it was thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No hope so bright but is the beginning of its own fulfilment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our health is our sound relation to external objects our sympathy with external being.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The plays of children are nonsense, but very educative nonsense. So it is with the largest and solemnest things, with commerce, government, church, marriage, and so with the history of every man's bread, and the ways by which he is to come by it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man's nature is a sufficient advertisement to him of the character of his fellows.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Deep insight will always, like Nature, ultimate its thought in a thing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the tongue had not been framed for articulation, man would still be a beast in the forest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is simply the rose it is perfect in every moment of its existence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The book written against fame and learning has the author's name on the title-page.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What you do thunders above your head so loudly, I cannot hear the words you speak.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide. Every influx of atheism, of skepticism, is thus made useful as a mercury pill assaulting and removing a diseased religion, and making way for truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In every situation do the thing you fear. If you do the thing you fear, the death of fear is certain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wherever we go, whatever we do, self is the sole subject we study and learn.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The whole value of history, of biography, is to increase my self-trust, by demonstrating what man can be and do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
