The finest and noblest ground...

The finest and noblest ground on which people can live is truth; the real with the real; a ground on which nothing is assumed.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We have feudal governments in...

We have feudal governments in a commercial age. It would be but an easy extension of our commercial system, to pay a private emperor a fee for services, as we pay an architect, an engineer, or a lawyer. If any man has talent for righting wrong, for administering difficult affairs, for counselling poor farmers how to turn their estates to good husbandry, for combining a hundred private enterprises to a general benefit, let him in the county- town, or in Court-street, put up his sign-board, Mr. Smith, Governor, Mr. Johnson, Working king.

Insist on yourself; never imi...

Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can offer with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation, but of the adopted talent of another, you have only an extemporaneous, half possession.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

There is no beautifier of com...

There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us. 'Tis good to give a stranger a meal, or a night's lodging. 'Tis better to be hospitable to his good meaning and thought, and give courage to a companion. We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light.

Life is short but there is always time for courtesy.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Society everywhere is in cons...

Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members. The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance is its aversion. It loves not realities and creators, but names and customs.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

No facts are to me sacred; no...

No facts are to me sacred; none are profane; I simply experiment, an endless seeker, with no past at my back.

The book of nature is the book of fate. She turns the gigantic pages, leaf after leaf never returning one.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every spirit builds itself a ...

Every spirit builds itself a house; and beyond its house, a world; and beyond its world a heaven. Know then, that the world exists for you: build, therefore, your own world.

The antidote to this abuse of formal Government, is, the influence of private character, the growth of the Individual.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

As the traveler who has lost ...

As the traveler who has lost his way, throws his reins on his horse's neck, and trusts to the instinct of the animal to find his road, so must we do with the divine animal who carries us through this world

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Sleep takes off the costume o...

Sleep takes off the costume of circumstance, arms us with terrible freedom, so that every will rushes to deed. A skillful man reads his dreams for his self-knowledge; yet not the details, but the quality. What part does he play in them - a cheerful, manly part, or a poor, drivelling part? However monstrous and grotesque their apparitions, they have a substantial truth.

Every great man is unique.

Tobacco, coffee, alcohol, has...

Tobacco, coffee, alcohol, hashish, prussic acid, strychnine, are weak dilutions; the surest poison is time. This cup which nature puts to our lips, has a wonderful virtue, surpassing that of any other draught. It opens the senses, adds power, fills us with exalted dreams, which we call hope, love, ambition, science; especially it creates a craving for larger draughts of itself.

All life is a nap. The more naps you take the better.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

I hate this shallow Americani...

I hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, to learn the economy of the mind by phrenology, or skill without study, or mastery without apprenticeship.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Wealth brings with it its own...

Wealth brings with it its own checks and balances. The basis of political economy is noninterference. The only safe rule is found in the self-adjusting meter of demand and supply. Open the doors of opportunity to talent and virtue and they will do themselves justice, and property will not be in bad hands. In a free and just commonwealth, property rushes from the idle and imbecile to the industrious, brave and persevering.

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The sun shines and warms and ...

The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes and silly people.
