More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
That which dominates our imagination and our thoughts will determine our life and character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do the thing and you will have the power. But they that do not the thing, had not the power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is higher than intellect. Thinking is the function living is the functionary.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man believes he has a greater possibility.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Commit a crime, and the earth is made of glass.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man must keep an eye on his servants, if he would not have them rule him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I always seem to suffer some loss of faith on entering cities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The compensations of calamity are made apparent to the understanding also, after long intervals of time. A fever, a mutilation, a cruel disappointment, a loss of wealth, a loss of friends, seems at the moment unpaid loss, and unpayable. But the sure years reveal the deep remedial force that underlies all facts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
None believeth in the soul of man, but only in some man or person old and departed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is always room for a person of force and they make room for many.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man of no conversation should smoke.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As soon as there is life there is danger.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The President proclaims war, and those Senators who dissent are not those who know better, but those who can afford to...Democracy becomes a government of bullies tempered by editors.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yet a man may love a paradox, without losing either his wit or his honesty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Discontent is want of self-reliance it is infirmity of will.
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 history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The desire of gold is not for gold. It is not the love of much wheat, and wool and household stuff. It is the means of freedom and benefit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Patience and fortitude conquer all things.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is said, no man can write but one book and if a man have a defect, it is apt to leave its impression on all his performances.
