You think that your silence on certain topics, perhaps in the face of injustice, or unkindness, or mean-spiritedness, causes others to reserve judgement of you. Far otherwise; your silence utters very loud: you have no oracle to speak, no wisdom to offer, and your fellow men have learned that you cannot help them. Doth not wisdom cry, and understanding put forth her voice? We would be well to do likewise.

The good writer seems to be writing about himself, but has his eye always on that thread of the Universe which runs through himself and all things.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The secret of education lies ...

The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil. It is not for you to choose what he shall know, what he shall do. It is chosen and foreordained and he only holds the key to his own secret.

The greatest discoveries are those that shed light unto ourselves.

Everything has its price - and if that price is not paid, not that thing but something else is obtained... it is impossible to get anything without this price.

The cardinal virtue of a teacher [is] to protect the pupil from his own influence.

The Roman rule was, to teach ...

The Roman rule was, to teach a boy nothing that he could not learn standing. The old English rule was, "All summer in the field, and all winter in the study." And it seems as if a man should learn to plant, or to fish, or to hunt, that he might secure his subsistence at all events, and not be painful to his friends and fellow men.

The best lightning rod for your protection is your own spine.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Nature never rhymes her child...

Nature never rhymes her children, nor makes two men alike. When we see a great man, we fancy a resemblance to some historical person, and predict the sequel of his character and fortune, a result which he is sure to disappoint. None will ever solve the problem of his character according to our prejudice, but only in his high unprecedented way.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The need for a rational consi...

The need for a rational consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

As long as civilization is es...

As long as civilization is essentially one of property, of fences, of exclusiveness, it will be mocked by delusions. Our riches will leave us sick; there will be bitterness in our laughter, and our wine will burn our mouth. Only that good profits which we can taste with all doors open, and which serves all men.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A garden has this advantage, ...

A garden has this advantage, that it makes it indifferent where you live. A well-laid garden makes the face of the country of no account; let that be low or high, grand or mean, you have made a beautiful abode worthy of man.

To accomplish excellence or anything outstanding, you must listen to that whisper which is heard by you alone.

You will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Why should I cumber myself wi...

Why should I cumber myself with regrets that the receiver is not capacious? It never troubles the sun that some of his rays fall wide and vain into ungrateful space, and only a small part on the reflecting planet. Let your greatness educate the crude and cold companion.
