The influence of fine scenery,...

The influence of fine scenery, the presence of mountains, appeases our irritations and elevates our friendships.

Our expenses are all for conformity.

There is no prosperity, trade,...

There is no prosperity, trade, art, city, or great material wealth of any kind, but if you trace it home, you will find it rooted in a thought of some individual man.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Masses are rude, lame, unmade,...

Masses are rude, lame, unmade, pernicious in their demands and influence, and need not to be flattered, but to be schooled. I wish not to concede anything to them, but to tame, drill, divide, and break them up, and draw individuals out of them.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The House

...She la...

The House

...She lays her beams in music,
In music every ore,
To the candence of the whirling world
Which dances round the sun-
That so they shall not be displaced
By lapses or by wars,
But for the love of happy souls
Out live the newest stars.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We dress our garden, eat our d...

We dress our garden, eat our dinners, discuss the household with our wives, and these things make no impression, are forgotten next week; but in the solitude to which every man is always returning, he has a sanity and revelations, which in his passage into new worlds he will carry with him. Never mind the ridicule, never mind the defeat: up again, old heart! Ђ' it seems to say, Ђ' there is victory yet for all justice; and the true romance which the world exists to realize, will be the transformation of genius into pr

Free should be the scholar - free and brave.

How can we speak of the action...

How can we speak of the action of the mind under any divisions, as of its knowledge, of its ethics, of its works, and so forth, since it melts will into perception, knowledge into act? Each becomes the other. Itself alone is.

If I am the devil's child, I will live then, by the devil.

I have only one doctrine, the infinitude of the private man.

The preamble of thought, the t...

The preamble of thought, the transition through which it passes from the unconscious to the conscious, is action. Only so much do I know, as I have lived. Instantly we know whose words are loaded with life, and whose not.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every day, the sun; and, after...

Every day, the sun; and, after sunset, night and her stars. Ever the winds blow; ever the grass grows. Every day, men and women, conversing, beholding and beholden. The scholar is he of all men whom this spectacle most engages. He must settle its value in his mind. What is nature to him?

Stay at home in your mind. Don't recite other people's opinions.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The vocabulary of an omniscien...

The vocabulary of an omniscient man would embrace words and images excluded from polite conversation. What would be base, or even obscene, to the obscene, becomes illustrious, spoken in a new connexion of thought.

Passion, though a bad regulato...

Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring. Any absorbing passion has the effect to deliver from the little coils and cares of every day: 'tis the heat which sets our human atoms spinning, overcomes the friction of crossing thresholds, and first addresses in society, and gives us a good start and speed, easy to continue, when once it is begun.

Success to the strongest, who ...

Success to the strongest, who are always, at last, the wisest and best.

Ten percent of people can think, another ten percent of people think that they think, and eighty percent of people would rather die than be made to think.

All ages of belief have been great; all of unbelief have been mean.
