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.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A great mind is a good sailor, as a great heart is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Englishman who has lost his fortune is said to have died of a broken heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every day, the sun and, after sunset, night and her stars. Ever the winds blow ever the grass grows. Every day, men and women, conversing, beholding and beholden. The scholar is he of all men whom this spectacle most engages. He must settle its value in his mind. What is nature to him?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An individual has a healthy personality to the exact degree to which they have the propensity to look for the good in every situation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is nothing in history to parallel the influence of Jesus Christ.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A sleeping child gives me the impression of a traveler in a very far country.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For splendor, there must somewhere be rigid economy. That the head of the house may go brave, the members must be plainly clad, and the town must save that the State may spend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best of life is conversation, and the greatest success is confidence, or perfect understanding between sincere people.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The evolution of a highly destined society must be moral it must run in the grooves of the celestial wheels.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not follow where the path may lead.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the whole of history is in one man, it is all to be explained from individual experience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fate, then, is a name for facts not yet passed under the fire of thought for causes which are unpenetrated.
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
Speak as you think, be what you are, pay your debts of all kinds. I prefer to be owned as sound and solvent, and my word as good as my bond, and to be what cannot be skipped, or dissipated, or undermined, to all the eclat in the universe. This reality is the foundation of friendship, religion, poetry, and art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power ceases in the instant of repose it resides in the moment of transition from a past to a new state, in the shooting of the gulf, in the darting to an aim.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration out there in history we can see its fatal strength.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We want a state of things in which crime will not pay, a state of things which allows every man the largest liberty compatible with the liberty of every other man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The angels are so enamored of the language that is spoken in heaven that they will not distort their lips with the hissing and unmusical dialects of men, but speak their own, whether their be any who understand it or not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The chief mourner does not always attend the funeral.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world - this shadow of the soul, or other me - lies wide around. Its attractions are the keys which unlock my thoughts and make me acquainted with myself. I run eagerly into this resounding tumult... So much only of life as I know by experience... The true scholar grudges every opportunity of action past by, as a loss of power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
