An orchard, good tillage, good grounds, seem a fixture, like a gold mine, or a river, to a citizen but to a large farmer, not much more fixed than the state of the crop.

More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The greatest discoveries are those that shed light unto ourselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let every man shovel out his own snow and the whole city will be passable.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we do not call education is more precious than that which we call so. We form no guess, at the time of receiving a thought, of its comparative value. And education often wastes its effort in attempts to thwart and balk this natural magnetism, which is sure to select what belongs to it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Higher than the question of our duration is the question of our deserving. Immortality will come to such as are fit for it, and he would be a great soul in future must be a great soul now.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The chief mourner does not always attend the funeral.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who does a good deed is instantly ennobled. He who does a mean deed is by the action itself contracted.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The civilized man has built a coach, but has lost the use of his feet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It seems as if nature, in regarding the geologic night behind her, when, in five or six millenniums, she had turned out five or six men, as Homer, Phidias, Menu, and Columbus, was no wise discontented with the result. These samples attested the virtue of the tree.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no man of Nature's worth In the circle of the earth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Manners require time, and nothing is more vulgar than haste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing shall warp me from the belief that every man is a lover of truth. There is no pure lie, no pure malignity in nature. The entertainment of the proposition of depravity is the last profligacy and profanation. There is no skepticism, no atheism but that. Could it be received into common belief, suicide would unpeople the planet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you criticize a fine genius, the odds are that you are out of your reckoning, and, instead of the poet, are censuring your owncaricature of him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only reward of virtue is virtue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society does not love its unmaskers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every revolution was first a thought in one man's mind and when the same thought occurs to another man, it is the key to that era.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Build, therefore, your own world. As fast as you conform your life to the pure idea in your mind, that will unfold it's great proportions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Quotation confesses inferiority.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self sacrifice is the real miracle out of which all the reported miracles grow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never mind the ridicule, never mind the defeat: up again, old heart!-it seems to say,-there is victory yet for all justice and the true romance which the world exists to realize, will be the transformation of genius into practical power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the world loves a lover.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
