Nature never wears a mean app...

Nature never wears a mean appearance. Neither does the wisest man extort her secret, and lose his curiosity by finding out all her perfection.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Speech is power: speech is to...

Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel. It is to bring another out of his bad sense into your good sense.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Man Thinking must not be subd...

Man Thinking must not be subdued by his instruments. Books are for the scholar's idle times. When he can read God directly, the hour is too precious to be wasted in other men's transcripts of their readings.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Wisdom is like electricity. T...

Wisdom is like electricity. There is no permanently wise man, but men capable of wisdom, who, being put into certain company, or other favorable conditions, become wise for a short time, as glasses rubbed acquire electric power for a while.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Standing on the bare ground,-...

Standing on the bare ground,--my head bathed by the blithe air and uplifted into infinite space,--all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or parcel of God.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

In the matter of religion, people eagerly fasten their eyes on the difference between their own creed and yours; whilst the charm of the study is in finding the agreements and identities in all the religions of humanity.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every man takes care that his...

Every man takes care that his neighbor shall not cheat him. But a day comes when he begins to care that he does not cheat his neighbor. Then all goes well. He has changed his market cart into a chariot of the sun.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The Jews believed Jerusalem t...

The Jews believed Jerusalem to be the centre. I have seen a kratometric chart designed to show that the city of Philadelphia was in the same thermic belt, and, by inference, in the same belt of empire, as the cities of Athens, Rome, and London. It was drawn by a patriotic Philadelphian, and was examined with pleasure, under his showing, by the inhabitants of Chestnut Street. But, when carried to Charleston, to New Orleans, and to Boston, it somehow failed to convince the ingenious scholars of all those capitals.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Spirit, that made those heroe...

Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

And what greater calamity can...

And what greater calamity can fall upon a nation than the loss of worship.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A self-denial, no less auster...

A self-denial, no less austere than the saint's, is demanded of the scholar. He must worship truth, and forgo all things for that,and choose defeat and pain, so that his treasure in thought is thereby augmented.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Let him be great, and love sh...

Let him be great, and love shall follow him. Nothing is more deeply punished than the neglect of the affinities by which alone society should be formed, and the insane levity of choosing associates by others eyes.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The mass of men worry themsel...

The mass of men worry themselves into nameless graves while here and there a great unselfish soul forgets himself into immortality.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

There are men too superior to...

There are men too superior to be seen except by a few, as there are notes too high for the scale of most ears.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The hues of the opal, the lig...

The hues of the opal, the light of the diamond, are not to be seen if the eye is too near.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

I think sometimes could I onl...

I think sometimes could I only have music on my own terms, could I live in a great city, and know where I could go whenever I wished the ablution and inundation of musical waves, that were a bath and a medicine.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Though we travel the world ov...

Though we travel the world over to find beauty, we must carry it with us or we find it not . . . The difference between landscape and landscape is small, but there is a great difference in beholders.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The senses collect the surfac...

The senses collect the surface facts of matter... It was sensation; when memory came, it was experience; when mind acted, it was knowledge; when mind acted on it as knowledge, it was thought.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A man is known by the books he reads.

Let the river roll which way it will, cities will rise on its banks.
