The great poet makes us feel ...

The great poet makes us feel our own wealth, and then we think less of his compositions. His best communication to our mind is to teach us to despise all he has done.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

He then learns that in going ...

He then learns that in going down into the secrets of his own mind, he has descended into the secrets of all minds.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

But genius looks forward: the...

But genius looks forward: the eyes of men are set in his forehead, not in his hindhead: man hopes: genius creates.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

When a man becomes cultivated...

When a man becomes cultivated, he develops a new respect for who he is. This causes him to be ashamed of his past identification of himself and others according to things, i.e. property.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The mark of the man of the wo...

The mark of the man of the world is absence of pretension. He does not make a speech; he takes a low business-tone, avoids all brag, is nobody, dresses plainly, promises not at all, performs much, speaks in monosyllables, hugs his fact.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

As the Sandwich Islander beli...

As the Sandwich Islander believes that the strength and valor of the enemy he kills passes into himself, so we gain the strength of the temptation we resist.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Higher than the question of o...

Higher than the question of our duration is the question of our deserving. Immortality will come to such as are fit for it, and he would be a great soul in future must be a great soul now.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every natural power exhilarates; a true talent delights the possessor first.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Silence is a solvent that des...

Silence is a solvent that destroys personality, and gives us leave to be great and universal.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A man should carry nature in his head.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

There is health in table talk and nursery play. We must wear old shoes and have aunts and cousins.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Life is wasted in the necessa...

Life is wasted in the necessary preparation of finding what is the true way, and we die just as we enter it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

In a virtuous action, I prope...

In a virtuous action, I properly am; in a virtuous act, I add to the world; I plant into deserts conquered from Chaos and Nothing, and see the darkness receding on the limits of the horizon.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

But only that soul can be my ...

But only that soul can be my friend which I encounter on the line of my own march, that soul to which I do not decline, and which does not decline me, but, native of the same celestial latitude, repeats in its own all my experience.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Some people will tell you there is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Nature and books belong to th...

Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them. It depends on the mood of the man, whether he shall see the sunset or the fine poem. There are always sunsets, and there is always genius; but only a few hours so serene that we can relish nature or criticism. The more or less depends on structure or temperament. Temperament is the iron wire on which the beads are strung. Of what use is fortune or talent to a cold and defective store?

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Conversation is our account of ourselves...Conversation is the vent of character as well as thoughts...It is the laboratory of the student.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

It is a sign of our times, co...

It is a sign of our times, conspicuous to the coarsest observer, that many intelligent and religious persons withdraw themselves from the common labors and competitions of the market and the caucus, and betake themselves to a certain solitary and critical way of living, from which no solid fruit has yet appeared to justify their separation.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

It does not to dwell on dream...

It does not to dwell on dreams and forget to live, but it is equally foolish to ignore the past – never forget.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Whoever is open, loyal, true;...

Whoever is open, loyal, true; of humane and affable demeanour; honourable himself, and in his judgement of others; faithful to his word as to law, and faithful alike to God and man....such a man is a true gentleman.
