More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A garden is like those pernicious machineries which catch a man's coat-skirt or his hand, and draw in his arm, his leg , and his whole body to irresistible destruction.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The chief value of the new fact is to enhance the great and constant fact of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must be our own before we can be another's.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mass are animal, in pupilage, and near chimpanzee.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My evening visitors, if they cannot see the clock should find the time in my face.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy is the hearing man unhappy the speaking man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Accept your genius and say what you think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pride eradicates all vices but itself.
