More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
As we are, so we do and as we do, so is it done to us we are the builders of our fortunes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Government has come to be a trade, and is managed solely on commercial principles. A man plunges into politics to make his fortune, and only cares that the world shall last his days.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Moral qualities rule the world, but at short distances the senses are despotic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The thief steals from himself. The swindler swindles himself. For the real price is knowledge and virtue, whereof wealth and credit are signs. These signs, like paper money, may be counterfeited or stolen, but that which they represent, namely, knowledge and virtue, cannot be counterfeited or stolen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go out of the house to see the moon, and't is mere tinsel it will not please as when its light shines upon your necessary journey.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The man in the street does not know a star in the sky.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The whole of what we know is a system of compensation. Every defect in one manner is made up in another. Every suffering is rewarded every sacrifice is made up every debt is paid.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a certain wisdom of humanity which is common to the greatest men with the lowest, and which our ordinary education oftenlabors to silence and obstruct.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Speak your latent conviction. . . Else tomorrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Though we travel the world over to find beauty, we must carry it with us or we find it not . . . The difference between landscape and landscape is small, but there is a great difference in beholders.
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
The house is a castle which the King cannot enter.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All that can be done for you is nothing to what you can do for yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I honor health as the first Muse.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are what their mothers made them. You may as well ask a loom which weaves huckabuck why it does not make cashmere as to expect poetry from this engineer or a chemical discovery from that jobber.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The essence of greatness is the perception that virtue is enough.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When some external event raises your spirits and you think good days are preparing for you, do not believe it. It can never be so. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People wish to be settled only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What I need is someone who will make me do what I can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
