Man begins life helpless. The babe is in paroxysms of fear the moment its nurse leaves it alone, and it comes so slowly to any power of self-protection that mothers say the salvation of the life and health of a young child is a perpetual miracle.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The mind is a finer body, and...

The mind is a finer body, and resumes its functions of feeding, digesting, absorbing, excluding, and generating, in a new and ethereal element. Here, in the brain, is all the process of alimentation repeated, in the acquiring, comparing, digesting, and assimilating of experience. Here again is the mystery of generation repeated.

If we tire of the saints, Shakspeare is our city of refuge.

No man thoroughly understands a truth until he has contended against it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Shakespeare carries us to suc...

Shakespeare carries us to such a lofty strain of intelligent activity, as to suggest a wealth which beggars his own; and we then feel that the splendid works which he has created, and which in other hours we extol as a sort of self-existent poetry, take no stronger hold of real nature than the shadow of a passing traveller on the rock. The inspiration which uttered itself in Hamlet and Lear could utter things as good from day to day, for ever.

Life is a festival only to the wise. Seen from the nook and chimneyside of prudence, it wears a ragged and dangerous front.

You cannot sincerely try to help another without helping yourself

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

If I could put my hand on the...

If I could put my hand on the north star, would it be as beautiful? The sea is lovely, but when we bathe in it the beauty forsakesall the near water. For the imagination and senses cannot be gratified at the same time.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

To give money to a sufferer i...

To give money to a sufferer is only a come-off. It is only a postponement of the real payment, a bribe paid for silence, a creditsystem in which a paper promise to pay answers for the time instead of liquidation. We owe to man higher succors than food and fire. We owe to man.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

At the gates of the forest, t...

At the gates of the forest, the surprised man of the world is forced to leave his city estimates of great and small, wise and foolish. The knapsack of custom falls off his back with the first step he makes into these precincts. Here is sanctity which shames our religions, and reality which discredits our heroes. Here we find Nature to be the circumstance which dwarfs every other circumstance, and judges like a god all men that come to her.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Nothing can be colder than hi...

Nothing can be colder than his head, when the lightnings of his imagination are playing in the sky.

We judge of man's wisdom by his hope.

Shakespeare will never be made by the study of Shakespeare.

Line in Nature is not found; Unit and Universe are round.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

All the mistakes I make arise...

All the mistakes I make arise from forsaking my own station and trying to see the object from another person's point of view.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

One lesson we learn early, th...

One lesson we learn early, that in spite of seeming difference, men are all of one pattern. We readily assume this with our mates, and are disappointed and angry if we find that we are premature, and that their watches are slower than ours. In fact, the only sin which we never forgive in each other is difference of opinion.

The writer is an explorer. Every step is an advance into a new land.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We do not want actions, but m...

We do not want actions, but men; not a chemical drop of water, but rain; the spirit that sheds and showers actions, countless, endless actions.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

For the time of towns is toll...

For the time of towns is tolled from the world by funereal chimes, but in nature the universal hours are counted by succeeding tribes of animals and plants, and by growth of joy on joy.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The horseman serves the horse...

The horseman serves the horse, The neat-herd serves the neat, The merchant serves the purse, The eater serves his meat; 'Tis the day of the chattel, Web to weave, and corn to grind, Things are in the saddle, And ride mankind.
