The machine unmakes the man. ...

The machine unmakes the man. Now that the machine is so perfect, the engineer is nobody.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The True Artist has the plane...

The True Artist has the planet for his pedestal; the adventurer, after years of strife, has nothing broader than his shoes.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The uses of travel are occasi...

The uses of travel are occasional, and short; but the best fruit it finds, when it finds it, is conversation; and this is a main function of life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

For it is only the finite tha...

For it is only the finite that has wrought and suffered; the infinite lies stretched in smiling repose.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We are impressed and even dau...

We are impressed and even daunted by the immense Universe to be explored. "What we know is a point to what we do not know."

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A little consideration of wha...

A little consideration of what takes place around us every day would show us that a higher law than that of our will regulates events; that our painful labors are unnecessary and fruitless; that only in our easy, simple, spontaneous action are we strong . . . . Place yourself in the middle of the stream of power and wisdom which animates all whom it floats, and you are without effort impelled to truth, to right, and a perfect contentment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A man cannot speak but he jud...

A man cannot speak but he judges himself. With his will or against his will he draws his portrait to the eye of his companions by every word. Every opinion reacts on him who utters it. It is a threadball thrown at a mark, but the other end remains on the thrower

Art and power will go on as they have done,--will make day out of night, time out of space, and space out of time.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Thought is the blossom; langu...

Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

It is not what talents or gen...

It is not what talents or genius a man has, but how he is to his talents, that constitutes friendship and character. The man thatstands by himself, the universe stands by him also.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A man must thank his defects,...

A man must thank his defects, and stand in some terror of his talents. A transcendent talent draws so largely on his forces as tolame him; a defect pays him revenues on the other side.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The world leaves no track in ...

The world leaves no track in space, and the greatest action of man no mark in the vast idea.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A few strong instincts and a few plain rules suffice us

The State must follow, and not lead, the character and progress of the citizen.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Things are pretty, graceful, ...

Things are pretty, graceful, rich, elegant, handsome, but, until they speak to the imagination, not yet beautiful.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Science was false by being unpoetical. It assumed to explain a reptile or a mollusk, and isolated it-which is hunting for life in graveyards. Reptile or mollusk or man or angel only exists in system, in relation.

In the presence of nature, a ...

In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The angels are so enamored of the language that is spoken in heaven that they will not distort their lips with the hissing and unmusical dialects of men, but speak their own, whether their be any who understand it or not.

Remarkable trait in the American Character is the union, not very infrequent, of Yankee cleverness with spiritualism.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Give the slave the least elevation of religious sentiment, and he is not slave: you are the slave: he not only in his humility feels his superiority, feels that much deplored condition of his to be a fading trifle, but he makes you feel it too. He is the master.
