What point of morals, of manners, of economy, of philosophy, of
religion, of taste, of the conduct of life, has he not settled?
What mystery has he not signified his knowledge of? What office,
or function, or district of man's work, has he not remembered?
What king has he not taught state, as Talma taught Napoleon?
What maiden has not found him finer than her delicacy? What
lover has he not outloved? What sage has he not outseen? What
gentleman has he not instructed in t

When Nature has work to be done, she create a genius to do it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The hearing ear is always foun...

The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue; and
no genius can long or often utter anything which is not invited
and gladly entertained by men around him.

The greatest meliorator of the world is selfish, huckstering
trade.

I like to be beholden to the g...

I like to be beholden to the great metropolitan English speech,
the sea which receives tributaries from every region under
heaven. I should as soon think of swimming across the Charles
river when I wish to go to Boston, as of reading all my books in
originals, when I have them rendered for me in my mother tongue.

Our high respect for a well-read man is praise enough for
literature.

If we encountered a man or rare intellect, we should ask him what
books he read.

The man in the street does not know a star in the sky.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Announced by all the trumpets ...

Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,
Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields,
Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air
Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven,
And veils the farmhouse at the garden's end.
The sled and traveller stopped, the courier's feet
Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit
Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed
In a tumultuous privacy of storm.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Come, see the north-wind's mas...

Come, see the north-wind's masonry,
Out of an unseen quarry evermore
Furnished with tile, the fierce artificer
Curves his white bastions with projected roof
Round every windward stake, or tree, or door.
Speeding, the myriad-handed, his wild work
So fanciful, so savage, naught cares he
For number or proportion.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The first farmer was the first...

The first farmer was the first man, and all historic nobility
rests on possession and use of land.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Bring me wine, but wine which ...

Bring me wine, but wine which never grew
In the belly of the grape,
Or grew on vine whose tap-roots, reaching through
Under the Andes to the Cape,
Suffered no savor of the earth to escape.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Too busy with the crowded hour...

Too busy with the crowded hour to fear to live or die.

My work is a game, a very serious game.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Nor knowest thou what argument...

Nor knowest thou what argument
Thy like to thy neighbor's creed has lent,
All are needed by each one;
Nothing is fair or good alone.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We grant no dukedoms to the fe...

We grant no dukedoms to the few,
We hold like rights and shall;
Equal on Sunday in the pew,
On Monday in the mall.
For what avail the plough or sail,
Or land, or life, if freedom fail?

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

My angel,--his name is Freedom...

My angel,--his name is Freedom,--
Choose him to be your king;
He shall cut pathways east and west,
And fend you with his wing.

Self-trust is the essence of heroism.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The hero is not fed on sweets,...

The hero is not fed on sweets,
Daily his own heart he eats;
Chambers of the great are jails,
And head-winds right for royal sails.

The shoemaker makes a good shoe because he makes nothing else.
