More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Shall we then judge a country by the majority, or by the minority? By the minority, surely.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I will not live out of me I will not see with others' eyes My good is good, my evil ill I would be free.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is the inlet and may become the outlet of all there is in God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We learn that God IS that he is in me and that all things are shadows of him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the morning a man walks with his whole body in the evening, only with his legs. RALPH WALDO EMERSON, Journals and Miscellaneous Notebooks Greek architecture is the perfect flowering of geometry.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For, whom the Muses smile upon, And touch with soft persuasion, His words like a storm-wind can bring Terror and beauty on their wing In his every syllable Lurketh nature veritable.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are too civil to books. For a few golden sentences we will turn over and actually read a volume of four or five hundred pages.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To accomplish excellence or anything outstanding, you must listen to that whisper which is heard by you alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every advantage has its tax.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wealth is in applications of mind to nature and the art of getting rich consists not in industry, much less in saving, but in a better order, in timeliness, in being at the right spot.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wise through excess of wisdom is made a fool.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
