Where is he who seeing a thousand men useless and unhappy, and making the whole region forlorn by their inaction, and conscious himself of possessing the faculty they want, does not hear his call to go and be their king?

More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Poverty demoralizes. A man in debt is so far a slave and Wall-street thinks it easy for a millionaire to be a man of his word, aman of honor, but, that, in failing circumstances, no man can be relied on to keep his integrity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The charm of fine manners is music and sculpture and picture to many who do not pretend to appreciation of these arts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People suffer all their life long, under the foolish superstition that they can be cheated. But it is impossible for a person to be cheated by anyone but himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The health of the eye demands a horizon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best of life is conversation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is man born for but to be a Reformer, a Remaker of what man has made? A renouncer of lies a restorer of truth and good? Imitating that great Nature which embossoms us all, and which sleeps no moment on an old past, but every hour repairs herself, yielding us every morning a new day, with every breath a new life?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All natural objects make a kindred impression, when the mind is open to their influence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Can anybody remember when the times were not hard and money not scarce?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Rings and other jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of thyself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All things are moral and in their boundless changes have an unceasing reference to spiritual nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty through my senses stole I yielded myself to the perfect whole.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Get Health. No labor, effort nor exercise that can gain it must be grudged.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you meet a sectary, or a hostile partisan, never recognize the dividing lines but meet on what common ground remains,--if onlythat the sun shines, and the rain rains for both the area will widen very fast, and ere you know it the boundary mountains, on which the eye had fastened, have melted into air.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be brave enough to do the loving thing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am become a transparent eyeball.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Earth's a howling wilderness, Truculent with fraud and force.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
