More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is the knowing that we cannot know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is reckless of the individual. When she has points to carry, she carries them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The remedy for all blunders, the cure of blindness, the cure of crime, is love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The hero is suffered to be himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is hard to go beyond your public. If they are satisfied with cheap performance, you will not easily arrive at better. If they know what is good, and require it. you will aspire and burn until you achieve it. But from time to time, in history, men are born a whole age too soon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man supposes himself not to be fully understood and if there is any truth in him, if he rests at last on the divine soul, I see not how it can be otherwise. The last chamber, the last closet, he must feel, was never opened there is always a residuum unknown, unanalyzable. That is, every man believes that he has a greater possibility.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Englishman who has lost his fortune is said to have died of a broken heart.
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
Our distrust is very expensive.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The health of the eye demands a horizon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We say the cows laid out Boston. Well, there are worse surveyors.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Infancy conforms to nobody all conform to it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are lenses through which we read our own minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do.... Build, therefore, your own world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science, Nature,-O, I've yearned to open some page.
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
Let us make education brave and preventive. Politics is an afterwork, a poor patching. We are always a little late... We shall one day learn to supercede politics by education... We must begin higher up, namely in Education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Really, all things and persons are related to us, but according to our nature, they act on us not at once, but in succession, andwe are made aware of their presence one at a time. All persons, all things which we have known, are here present, and many more than we see the world is full.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go oft to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
