More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
See only that thou work and thou canst not escape the reward.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I unsettle all things.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Line in Nature is not found Unit and Universe are round.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The piety of the Hebrew prophets purges their grossness. The circumcision is an example of the power of poetry to raise the low and offensive.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art is the need to create but in its essence, immense and universal, it is impatient of working with lame or tied hands, and of making cripples and monsters, such as all pictures and statues are. Nothing less than the creation of man and nature is its end.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Homeopathy is insignificant as an act of healing, but of great value as criticism on the hygeia or medical practice of the time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Astrology is astronomy brought down to Earth and applied toward the affairs of men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cardinal virtue of a teacher [is] to protect the pupil from his own influence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let no one honour me with tears, or bury me with lamentation. Why? Because I fly hither and thither, living in the mouths of me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Another sort of false prayers are our regrets. Discontent is the way of self-reliance: it is infirmity of will. Regret calamities, if you can thereby help the sufferer if not, attend your own work, and already the evil begins to be repaired.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must set up a strong present tense against all rumors of wrath, past and to come.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The growth of the intellect is spontaneous in every expansion. The mind that grows could not predict the times, the means, the mode of that spontaneity. God enters by a private door into every individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When Duty whispers low, 'Thou must,' The youth whispers, 'I can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those who have ruled human destinies, like planets, for thousands of years, were not handsome men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Blessed are those who have no talent!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sometimes we receive the power to say yes to life. Then peace enters us and makes us whole.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We fancy men are individuals so are pumpkins but every pumpkin in the field goes through every point of pumpkin history.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It now appears that the negro race is, more than any other, susceptible of rapid civilization. The emancipation is observed, in the islands, to have wrought for the negro a benefit as sudden as when a thermometer is brought out of the shade into the sun. It has given him eyes and ears.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
None believeth in the soul of man, but only in some man or person old and departed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To help the young soul, to add energy, inspire hope, and blow the coals into a useful flame to redeem defeat by new thought and firm action, this, though not easy, is the work of divine men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
