More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The finest poetry was first experience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you criticize a fine genius, the odds are that you are out of your reckoning, and, instead of the poet, are censuring your owncaricature of him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Very few of our race can be said to be yet finished men. We still carry sticking to us some remains of the preceding inferior quadruped organization. We call these millions men but they are not yet men. Half-engaged in the soil, pawing to get free, man needs all the music that can be brought to disengage him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the East loves infinity, the West delights in boundaries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The whole of what we know is a system of compensation. Every defect in one manner is made up in another. Every suffering is rewarded every sacrifice is made up every debt is paid.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For what are they all in their high conceit, When man in the bush with God may meet?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not gold, but only man can make a people great and strong men who, for truth and honor's sake, stand fast and suffer long.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Painting was called silent poetry and poetry speaking painting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Build, therefore, your own world. As fast as you conform your life to the pure idea in your mind, that will unfold it's great proportions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I grieve that grief can teach me nothing, nor carry me one step into real nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He is great who confers the most benefits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The two terrors that discourage creativity and creative living are fear of public opinion and undue reverence for one's own consistency.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
