More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I will no longer confer, differ, refer, defer, prefer, or suffer. I renounce the whole tribe of fero. I embrace absolute life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Any relation to the land, the habit of tilling it, or mining it, or even hunting on it, generates the feeling of patriotism. He who keeps shop on it, or he who merely uses it as a support to his desk and ledger, or to his manufactory, values it less.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the race is good, so is the place.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Look out! Behind you!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What matters most is not what is behind us or before us, but what is within us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are too civil to books. For a few golden sentences we will turn over and actually read a volume of four or five hundred pages.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is beneath you if it is in the direction of your life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Give no bounties: make equal laws: secure life and prosperity and you need not give alms.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore it if it be goodness. 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
Any work looks wonderful to me except the one which I can do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man builds a fine house and now he has a master, and a task for life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Solitude is naught and society is naught. Alternate them and the good of each is seen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The beautiful rests on the foundations of the necessary.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
