Nobody is glad in the gladness...

Nobody is glad in the gladness of another, and our system is one of war, of an injurious superiority. Every child of the Saxon race is educated to wish to be first. It is our system; and a man comes to measure his greatness by the regrets, envies, and hatreds of his competitors.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

It is easy to carp at colleges...

It is easy to carp at colleges, and the college, if he will wait for it, will have its own turn. Genius exists there also, but will not answer a call of a committee of the House of Commons. It is rare, precious, eccentric, and darkling.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Oxford is a little aristocracy...

Oxford is a little aristocracy in itself, numerous and dignified enough to rank with other estates in the realm; and where fame and secular promotion are to be had for study, and in a direction which has the unanimous respect of all cultivated nations.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The university must be retrospective. The gale that gives direction to the vanes on all its towers blows out of antiquity.

What new thoughts are suggested by seeing a face of country quite familiar, in the rapid movement of the rail-road car!

A Gothic cathedral affirms that it was done by us and not done by us.

The Gothic cathedral is a blossoming in stone subdued by the insatiable demand of harmony in man.

To eat bread is one thing; to love the precepts of Christ and resolve to obey them is quite another.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Railroad iron is a magician's ...

Railroad iron is a magician's rod, in its power to evoke the sleeping energies of land and water.

In vain produced, all rays return;
Evil will bless, and ice will burn.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The true preacher can be known...

The true preacher can be known by this, that he deals out to the people his life,--life passed through the fire of thought.

Whenever the pulpit is usurped...

Whenever the pulpit is usurped by a formalist, then is the worshipper defrauded and disconsolate.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We commonly say that the rich ...

We commonly say that the rich man can speak the truth, can afford honesty, can afford independence of opinion and action;--and that is the theory of nobility. But it is the rich man in a true sense, that is to say, not the man of large income and large expenditure, but solely the man whose outlay is less than his income and is steadily kept so.

The lord is the peasant that was,
The peasant is the lord that shall be.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

What forests of laurel we brin...

What forests of laurel we bring, and the tears of mankind, to those who stood firm against the opinion of their contemporaries!

The God who made New Hampshire...

The God who made New Hampshire
Taunted the lofty land
With little men.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

What care though rival cities ...

What care though rival cities soar
Along the stormy coast,
Penn's town, New York, Baltimore,
If Boston knew the most!

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

I do not speak with any fondness but the language of coolest history, when I say that Boston commands attention as the town whichwas appointed in the destiny of nations to lead the civilization of North America.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Our age is very cheap and intelligible. Unroof any house, and you shall find it. The well-being consists in having a sufficiency of coffee and toast, with a daily newspaper; a well glazed parlor, with marbles, mirrors and centre-table; and the excitement of a few parties and a few rides in a year.
