More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, to learn the economy of the mind by phrenology, or skill without study, or mastery without apprenticeship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing shall warp me from the belief that every man is a lover of truth. There is no pure lie, no pure malignity in nature. The entertainment of the proposition of depravity is the last profligacy and profanation. There is no skepticism, no atheism but that. Could it be received into common belief, suicide would unpeople the planet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whatever we think and say is wonderfully better for our spirits and trust in another mouth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ethics and religion differ herein that the one is the system of human duties commencing from man the other, from God. Religion includes the personality of God Ethics does not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Coal lay in ledges under the ground since the Flood, until a laborer with pick and windlass brings it to the surface. We may well call it black diamonds. Every basket is power and civilization. For coal is a portable climate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, while he who has one enemy shall meet him everywhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Congratulate yourself if you have done something strange, extravagant and broken the monotony.
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
Life is a boundless privilege, and when you pay for your ticket, and get into the car, you have no guess what good company you shall find there.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If a man's eye is on the Eternal, his intellect will grow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A part of fate is the freedom of man. Forever wells up the impulse of choosing and acting in his soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Explore, and explore. Be neither chided nor flattered out of your position of perpetual inquiry. Neither dogmatize or accept another's dogmatism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Trust your instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Philosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and the Soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If a man carefully examine his thoughts he will be surprised to find how much he lives in the future. His well-being is always ahead. Such a creature is probably immortal.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is grave alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every ship that comes to America got its chart from Columbus.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men consort in camp and town But the poet dwells alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
