The world proceeds from the same spirit as the body of man. It is a remoter and inferior incarnation of God, a projection of God in the unconscious.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Society never advances. It r...

Society never advances. It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other. Society acquires new arts, and loses old instincts.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Shakspeare is the only biographer of Shakspeare; and even he can tell nothing, except to the Shakspeare in us; that is, to our most apprehensive and sympathetic hour.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Men are not philosophers, but...

Men are not philosophers, but are rather very foolish children, who, by reason of their partiality, see everything in the most absurd manner, and are the victims at all times of the nearest object. There is even no philosopher who is a philosopher at all times. Our experience, our perception is conditioned by the need to acquire in parts and in succession, that is, with every truth a certain falsehood.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A great man scarcely knows ho...

A great man scarcely knows how he dines, how he dresses; but without railing or precision, his living is natural and poetic.

Homeopathy is insignificant as an act of healing, but of great value as criticism on the hygeia or medical practice of the time.

The history of persecution is...

The history of persecution is a history of endeavors to cheat nature, to make water run up hill, to twist a rope of sand.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The basis of good manners is self-reliance. Necessity is the law of all who are not self-possessed.

What is well done, I feel as if I did; what is ill-done, I reck not of.

If a man sits down to think, he is immediately asked if he has a headache.

True friends are two people who are comfortable sharing silence together.

I have sometimes thought that, in order to be a good minister, it was necessary to leave the ministry. The profession is antiquated. In an altered age, we worship in the dead forms of our forefathers.

What is indispensable to inspiration? ...sound sleep and the provocation of a good book or a companion.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Behind us, as we go, all thin...

Behind us, as we go, all things assume pleasing forms, as clouds do far off. Not only things familiar and stale, but even the tragic and terrible, are comely, as they take their place in the pictures of memory.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The end of being is to know; ...

The end of being is to know; and if you say, the end of knowledge is action,-why, yes, but the end of that action again, is knowledge.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

So all that is said of the wi...

So all that is said of the wise man by Stoic or Oriental or modern essayist, describes to each reader his own idea, describes his unattained but attainable self.

The poisons are our principal medicines, which kill the disease and save the life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

But the wise know that foolis...

But the wise know that foolish legislation is a rope of sand, which perishes in the twisting; that the State must follow, and notlead the character and progress of the citizen; the strongest usurper is quickly got rid of; and they only who build on Ideas, build for eternity; and that the form of government which prevails, is the expression of what cultivation exists in the population which permits it.
