More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you would lift me up you must be on higher ground.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we do not call education is more precious than that which we call so. We form no guess, at the time of receiving a thought, of its comparative value. And education often wastes its effort in attempts to thwart and balk this natural magnetism, which is sure to select what belongs to it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We seldom see anybody who is not uneasy or afraid to live.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the foundation of that interest all men feel in Greek history, letters, art, and poetry, in all its periods, from the Heroic or Homeric age down to the domestic life of the Athenians and Spartans, four or five centuries later? What but this, that every man passes personally through a Grecian period.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conservatism makes no poetry, breathes no prayer, has no invention it is all memory. Reform has no gratitude, no prudence, no husbandry.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be a gift and a benediction.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One can never truly savor success until first tasting adversity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
All my hurts my garden spade can heal.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tis the old secret of the gods that they come in low disguises. 'Tis the vulgar great who come dizened with gold and jewels. Real kings hide away their crowns in their wardrobes, and affect a plain and poor exterior.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a certain wisdom of humanity which is common to the greatest men with the lowest, and which our ordinary education oftenlabors to silence and obstruct.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The preamble of thought, the transition through which it passes from the unconscious to the conscious, is action. Only so much do I know, as I have lived. Instantly we know whose words are loaded with life, and whose not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If your friend has displeased you, you shall not sit down to consider it, for he has already lost all memory of the passage, and has doubled his power to serve you, and, ere you can rise up again, will burden you with blessings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Education should be as broad as man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love, which is the essence of God, is not for levity, but for the total worth of man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The health of the eye demands a horizon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A ruddy drop of manly blood The surging sea outweighs The world uncertain comes and goes, The lover rooted stays.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We resent all criticism which denies us anything that lies in our line of advance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
