More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no thought in any mind, but it quickly tends to convert itself into power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lord is the peasant that was, The peasant is the lord that shall be.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We denote this primary wisdom as Intuition, whilst all later teachings are tuitions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are always getting ready to live, but never living... The wave moves onward but the particles of which it is composed do not... It cannot be but that at intervals throughout society there are real men intermixed . . . as the carpenter puts one iron bar in his bannister for every five or six wooden ones.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whatever we think and say is wonderfully better for our spirits and trust in another mouth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The highest compact we can make with our fellow is - Let there be truth between us two forevermore.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings, and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word, a verse, and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power ceases in the instant of repose it resides in the moment of transition from a past to a new state, in the shooting of the gulf, in the darting to an aim.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wonder is always new that any sane man can be a sailor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is sublime to think and say of another, I need never meet, or speak, or write to him: we need not reinforce ourselves, or send tokens of remembrance I rely on him as on myself: if he did thus and thus, I know it was right.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Take egotism out and you would castrate the benefactors.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is made to conspire with spirit to emancipate us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How much finer things are in composition than alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every mind must know the whole lesson for itself,-must go over the whole ground. What it does not see, what it does not live, it will not know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life only avails, not the having lived.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is with a good book as it is with good company.
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
There is health in table talk and nursery play. We must wear old shoes and have aunts and cousins.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
