So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When Duty whispers low, 'Thou must,' The youth whispers, 'I can.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

It happens to us once or twice...

It happens to us once or twice in a lifetime to be drunk with some book which probably has some extraordinary relative power to intoxicate us and none other; and having exhausted that cup of enchantment we go groping in libraries all our years afterwards in the hope of being in Paradise again.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Truly speaking, it is not inst...

Truly speaking, it is not instruction, but provocation, that I can receive from another soul. What he announces, I must find true in me, or reject; and on his word, or as his second, be he who he may, I can accept nothing.

Many eyes go through the meadow, but few see the flowers in it

Every violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but is a stab at the health of human society.

Astronomy to the selfish becomes astrology.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Our people are slow to learn the wisdom of sending character instead of talent to Congress. Again and again they have sent a man of great acuteness, a fine scholar, a fine forensic orator, and some master of the brawls has crunched him up in his hands like a bit of paper.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The religion that is afraid of...

The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide. . . . Every influx of atheism, of skepticism, is thus made useful as a mercury pill assaulting and removing a diseased religion, and making way for truth.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Society is infested by persons...

Society is infested by persons who, seeing that the sentiments please, counterfeit the expression of them. These we call sentimentalists - talkers who mistake the description for the thing, saying for having.

Wherever a man comes, there comes revolution. The old is for slaves.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We mark with light in the memory the few interviews we have had with souls that made our souls wiser, that spoke what we thought, that told us what we knew, that gave us leave to be what we inly are.

Go forth into the busy world and love it. Interest yourself in its life, mingle kindly with its joys and sorrows.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Do not be too timid and squeam...

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little coarse and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice? Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The progress of religion is st...

The progress of religion is steadily to its identity with morals. Strength enters just as much as the moral element prevails.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

What you are shouts at me so l...

What you are shouts at me so loudly that I can't hear a word you say.

Go out of the house to see the moon, and't is mere tinsel; it will not please as when its light shines upon your necessary journey.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Shakespeare possesses the powe...

Shakespeare possesses the power of subordinating nature for the purposes of expression, beyond all poets. His imperial muse tosses the creation like a bauble from hand to hand, and uses it to embody any caprice of thought that is uppermost in his mind. The remotest spaces of nature are visited, and the farthest sundered things are brought together, by subtle spiritual connection. We are made aware that magnitude of material things is relative, and all objects shrink and expand to serve the passion of the poet.

Sitting back in the evening, stargazing and stroking your dog, is an infallible remedy.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

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 hero is he who is immovably centered.
