More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
As long as our people quote English standards they dwarf their own proportions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are moods in which we court suffering, in the hope that here, at least, we shall find reality, sharp peaks and edges of truth. But it turns out to be scene-painting and counterfeit. The only thing grief has taught me is to know how shallow it is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature forever puts a premium on reality. What is done for effect is seen to be done for effect what is done for love is felt to be done for love. A man inspires affection and honor because he was not lying in wait for these.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A sublime hope cheers ever the faithful heart, that elsewhere, in other regions of the universal powers, souls are now acting, enduring and daring, which can love us, and which we can love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fear God, and where you go men shall think they walk in hallowed cathedrals.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A great man will find a great subject, or which is the same thing, make any subject great.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul lets no man go without some visitations and holy-days of a diviner presence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is that which can do without success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who shall set a limit to the influence of a human being?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Converse with a mind that is grandly simple, and literature looks like word-catching.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wish to speak with all respect of persons, but sometimes I must pinch myself to keep awake, and preserve the due decorum. They melt so fast into each other, that they are like grass and trees, and it needs an effort to treat them as individuals.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To be able to discern that what is true is true, and that what is false is false,--this is the mark and character of intelligence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is the only elegance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like my boy with his endless sweet soliloquies and iterations and his utter inability to conceive why I should not leave all my nonsense, business, and writing and come to tie up his toy horse, as if there was or could be any end to nature beyond his horse. And he is wiser than we when [he] threatens his whole threat I will not love you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are better than this theology.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Heroism works in contradiction to the voice of mankind and in contradiction, for a time, to the voice of the great and good. Heroism is an obedience to a secret impulse of an individual
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is always room for a person of force and they make room for many.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
