More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The advantage of riches remains with him who procured them, not with the heir.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is always known. Thefts never enrich alms never impoverish murder will speak out of stone walls.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it.
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
We may climb into the thin and cold realm of pure geometry and lifeless science, or sink into that of sensation. Between these extremes is the equator of life, of thought, or spirit, or poetry,--a narrow belt.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am a willow of the wilderness, Loving the wind that bent me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The eloquence of one stimulates all the rest, some up to the speaking-point, and all others to a degree that makes them good receivers and conductors, and they avenge themselves for their enforced silence by increased loquacity on their return.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conservatism is affluent and openhanded, but there is a cunning juggle in riches. I observe that they take somewhat for everythingthey give. I look bigger, but am less I have more clothes, but am nit so warm more armor, but less courage more books, but less wit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My joy in friends, those sacred people, is my consolation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our prejudices are our robbers, they rob us valuable things in life. People only see what they are prepared to see.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our distrust is very expensive.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a genius of a nation, which is not to be found in the numerical citizens, but which characterizes the society.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The walking of Man is falling forwards.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How casually and unobservedly we make all our most valued acquaintances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our life seems not present, so much as prospective not for the affairs on which it is wasted, but as a hint of this vast- flowingvigor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some people will tell you there is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is much better to learn the elements of geology, of botany, or ornithology and astronomy by word of mouth from a companion than dully from a book.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Come out of the azure. Love the day. Do not leave the sky out of your landscape.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
