The moral equalizes all enriches, empowers all. It is the coin which buys all, and which all find in their pocket. Under the whipof the driver, the slave shall feel his equality with saints and heroes.

More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
As soon as the man is at one with God, he will not beg. He will then see prayer in all action.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many a profound genius, I suppose, who fills the world with fame of his exploding renowned errors, is yet everyday posed and baffled by trivial questions at his own supper table.
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
We love it because it is self dependent, self derived, and therefore of an old immaculate pedigree, even if shown in a young person.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A home kept to the end of display is impossible to all but a few women, and their success is dearly bought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of ugliness consists not in irregularity, but in being uninteresting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the hardest task in the world? To think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He is the rich man in whom the people are rich, and he is the poor man in whom the people are poor and how to give access to themasterpieces of art and nature, is the problem of civilization.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Reality is a sliding door.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
This immediate dependence of language upon nature, this conversion of an outward phenomenon into a type of somewhat in human life,never loses its power to affect us. It is this which gives that piquancy to the conversation of a strong-natured farmer or backwoodsman, which all men relish.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All life is an experiment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Religion is to do right. It is to love, it is to serve, it is to think, it is to be humble.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A little integrity is better than any career.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and once it has done so, he/she will have to accept that his life will be radically changed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The restraining grace of common sense is the mark of all valid minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and to- morrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty brings its own fancy price, for all that a man hath will he give for his love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the duty of men to judge men only by their actions. Our faculties furnish us with no means of arriving at the motive, the character, the secret self. We call the tree good from its fruits, and the man, from his works.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you act, you show character if you sit still, you show it if you sleep you show it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A fact is the end or last issue of spirit. The visible creation is the terminus or the circumference of the invisible world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
