Teaching is the perpetual end...

Teaching is the perpetual end and office of all things. Teaching, instruction is the main design that shines through the sky and earth.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Though your views are in stra...

Though your views are in straight antagonism to theirs, assume an identity of sentiment, assume that you are saying precisely thatwhich all think, and in the flow of wit and love roll out your paradoxes in solid column, with not the infirmity of a doubt.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Beside all the moral benefit ...

Beside all the moral benefit which we may expect from the farmer's profession, when a man enters it considerately, this promised the conquering of the soil, plenty, and beyond this, the adorning of the country with every advantage and ornament which labor, ingenuity, and affection for a man's home, could suggest.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

But there are higher secrets ...

But there are higher secrets of culture, which are not for the apprentices, but for proficients. These are lessons only for the brave. We must know our friends under ugly masks. The calamities are our friends.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We are adapted to infinity. W...

We are adapted to infinity. We are hard to please, and love nothing which ends: and in nature is no end; but every thing, at the end of one use, is lifted into a superior, and the ascent of these things climbs into daemonic and celestial natures.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Fashion, though in a strange ...

Fashion, though in a strange way, represents all manly virtue. It is virtue gone to seed: it is a kind of posthumous honor. It does not often caress the great, but the children of the great: it is a hall of the Past.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Some men love only to talk wh...

Some men love only to talk where they are masters. They like to go to school-girls, or to boys, or into the shops where the sauntering people gladly lend an ear.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

There is no event greater in ...

There is no event greater in life than the appearance of new persons about our hearth, except it be the progress of the characterwhich draws them.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

I could better eat with one w...

I could better eat with one who did not respect the truth or the laws, than with a sloven and unpresentable person. Moral qualities rule the world, but at shorter distances, the senses are despotic.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Egotism is a kind of buckram ...

Egotism is a kind of buckram that gives momentary strength and concentration to men, and seems to be much used in Nature for fabrics in which local and spasmodic energy is required.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A farm is a good thing, when ...

A farm is a good thing, when it begins and ends with itself, and does not need a salary, or a shop, to eke it out.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The eloquence of one stimulat...

The eloquence of one stimulates all the rest, some up to the speaking-point, and all others to a degree that makes them good receivers and conductors, and they avenge themselves for their enforced silence by increased loquacity on their return.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

All men, in the abstract, are...

All men, in the abstract, are just and good; what hinders them, in the particular, is, the momentary predominance of the finite and individual over the general truth. The condition of our incarnation in a private self, seems to be, a perpetual tendency to prefer the private law, to obey the private impulse, to the exclusion of the law of the universal being.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The gentleman is a man of tru...

The gentleman is a man of truth, lord of his own actions, and expressing that lordship in his behavior, not in any manner dependent and servile either on persons, or opinions, or possessions.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We early arrive at the great ...

We early arrive at the great discovery that there is one mind common to all individual men: that what is individual is less than what is universalthat error, vice and disease have their seat in the superficial or individual nature.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Wise men read very sharply al...

Wise men read very sharply all your private history in your look and gait and behavior. The whole economy of nature is bent on expression. The tell-tale body is all tongues. Men are like Geneva watches with crystal faces which expose the whole movement.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The city is always recruited ...

The city is always recruited from the country. The men in cities who are the centres of energy, the driving-wheels of trade, politics or practical arts, and the women of beauty and genius, are the children or grandchildren of farmers, and are spending the energies which their fathers' hardy, silent life accumulated in frosty furrows in poverty, necessity and darkness.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Manners aim to facilitate lif...

Manners aim to facilitate life, to get rid of impediments, and bring the man pure to energize. They aid our dealing and conversation, as a railway aids travelling, by getting rid of all avoidable obstructions of the road, and leaving nothing to be conquered but pure space.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The public values the inventi...

The public values the invention more than the inventor does. The inventor knows there is much more and better where this came from.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

You cannot give anything to a magnanimous person. After you have served him, he at once puts you in debt by his magnanimity.
