More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Talent is commonly developed at the expense of character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As Arkwright and Whitney were the demi-gods of cotton, so prolific Time will yet bring an inventor to every plant. There is not a property in nature but a mind is born to seek and find it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Debt, grinding debt, whose iron face the widow, the orphan, and the sons of genius fear and hate debt, which consumes so much time, which so cripples and disheartens a great spirit with cares that seem so base, is a preceptor whose lessons cannot be foregone, and is needed most by those who suffer from it most.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every heroic act measures itself by its contempt of some external good. But it finds its own success at last, and then the prudent also extol.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I see it only that thyself is here, and art and nature, hope and fate, friends, angels and the supreme being shall not be absent from the chamber where thou sittest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each man reserves to himself alone the right of being tedious.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To a physician, each man, each woman, is an amplification of one organ.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Washington, where an insignificant individual may trespass on a nation's time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them.
