More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Out of sleeping a waking, Out of waking a sleep.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The stupidity of men always invites the insolence of power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have heard that whoever loves is in no condition old.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The borrower runs in his own debt.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I think I have done well, if I have acquired a new word from a good author and my business with him is to find my own, though itwere only to melt him down into an epithet or an image for daily use.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is nothing settled in manners, but the laws of behavior yield to the energy of the individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The chief value of the new fact is to enhance the great and constant fact of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All men plume themselves on the improvement of society, and no man improves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A human being should beware how he laughs, for then he shows all his faults.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Congratulate yourself if you have done something strange, extravagant and broken the monotony.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Well, the world has a million writers. One would think, then, that good thought would be as familiar as air and water, and the gifts of each new hour would exclude the last. Yet we can count all our good books nay, I remember any beautiful verse for twenty years.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of drunkenness is, that it insulates us in thought, whilst it unites us in feeling.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But whoso is heroic must find crises to try his edge. Human virtue demands her champions and martyrs, and the trial of persecution always proceeds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Humility is the secret of the wise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And in cases where profound conviction has been wrought, the eloquent man is he who is no beautiful speaker, but who is inwardly drunk with a certain belief. It agitates and tears him, and perhaps almost bereaves him of the power of articulation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When there is sympathy, there needs but one wise man in a company and all are wise,--so, a blockhead makes a blockhead of his companion. Wonderful power to benumb possesses this brother.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Though we love goodness and not stealing, yet also we love freedom and not preaching.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our age is very cheap and intelligible. Unroof any house, and you shall find it. The well-being consists in having a sufficiency of coffee and toast, with a daily newspaper a well glazed parlor, with marbles, mirrors and centre-table and the excitement of a few parties and a few rides in a year.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
