More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
If thou fill thy brain with Boston and New York, with fashion and covetousness, and wilt stimulate thy jaded senses with wine and French coffee, thou shalt find no radiance of wisdom in the lonely waste of the pinewoods.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be not the slave of your own past - plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is the whole encyclopedia of facts. The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn, and Egypt, Greece, Rome, Gaul, Britain, America, lie folded already in the first man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An English family consists of a few persons, who, from youth to age, are found revolving within a few feet of each other, as if tied by some invisible ligature, tense as that cartilage which we have seen attaching the two Siamese.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no good theory of disease which does not at once suggest a cure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Shakespeare will never be made by the study of Shakespeare.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The way to mend the bad world is to create the right world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you are wise, you will dread a prosperity which only loads you with more.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You shall have joy, or you shall have power, said God you shall not have both.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I take this evanescence and lubricity of all objects, which lets them slip through our fingers then when we clutch hardest, to be the most unhandsome part of our condition.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise cultivated, genial conversation is the last flower of civilization, and the best result which life has to offer us,--a cup for gods, which has no repentance. Conversation is our account of ourselves. All we have, all we can, all we know, is brought into play, and as the reproduction in finer form, of all our havings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The vocabulary of an omniscient man would embrace words and images excluded from polite conversation. What would be base, or even obscene, to the obscene, becomes illustrious, spoken in a new connexion of thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every advantage has its tax.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wiped away the weeds and foam, I fetched my sea-borne treasures home.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conversation is the laboratory and workshop of the student.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Make yourself necessary to the world, and mankind will give you bread.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The highest end of government is the culture of men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who does not sometimes envy the good and the brave, who are no more to suffer from the tumults of the natural world, and await with curious complacency the speedy term of his own conversation with finite nature?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The life of man is the true romance, which when it is valiantly conduced, will yield the imagination a higher joy than any fiction.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
