More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
When the vain speaker has sat down, and the people say 'what a good speech,' it still takes an ounce to balance an ounce.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cheapness of man is every day's tragedy. It is as real a loss that others should be low, as that we should be low for we musthave a society.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is doubtless a vice to turn one's eyes inward too much, but I am my own comedy and tragedy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Washington, where an insignificant individual may trespass on a nation's time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Language is the archives of history.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If men would avoid that general language and general manner in which they strive to hide all that is peculiar, and would say only what was uppermost in their own minds, after their own individual manner, every man would be interesting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self-love is, in almost all men, such an over-weight that they are incredulous of a man's habitual preference of the general good to his own but when they see it proved by sacrifices of ease, wealth, rank, and of life itself, there is no limit to their admiration.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like people who can do things
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is with a good book as it is with good company.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who shall forbid a wise skepticism, seeing that there is no practical question on which anything more than an approximate solution can be had?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If I am the devil's child, I will live then, by the devil.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every day, a little sadder, a little madder. Will someone get me a ladder?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Are you not scared by seeing that the gypsies are more attractive to us than the apostles?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We ask for long life, but 'tis deep life, or noble moments that signify. Let the measure of time be spiritual, not mechanical.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The hero is he who is immovably centered.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
O friend, never strike sail to a fear!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But hospitality must be for service, and not for show, or it pulls down the host. The brave soul rates itself too high to value itself by the splendor of its table and draperies. It gives what it hath, and all it hath, but its own majesty can lend a better grace to bannocks and fair water than belong to city feasts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wise skeptic does not teach doubt but how] to look for the permanent in the mutable and fleeting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
