To finish the moment, to find ...

To finish the moment, to find the journey's end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom. . . .Without any shadow of doubt, amidst this vertigo of shows and politics, I settle myself ever the firmer in the creed, that we should not postpone and refer and wish, but do broad justice where we are, by whomsoever we deal with, accepting our actual companions and circumstances, however humble or odious, as the mystic officials to whom the universe has delegated its whole pleasure for us

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The teaching of politics is th...

The teaching of politics is that the Government, which was set for protection and comfort of all good citizens, becomes the principal obstruction and nuisance with which we have to contend... The cheat and bully and malefactor we meet everywhere is the Government.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

To the body and mind which have been cramped by noxious work or company, nature is medicinal and restores their tone.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Men cease to interest us when ...

Men cease to interest us when we find their limitations. The only sin is limitation. As soon as you once come up with a man's limitations, it is all over with him.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Proverbs are the literature of...

Proverbs are the literature of reason, or the statements of absolute truth, without qualification. Like the sacred books of each nation, they are the sanctuary of its intuitions.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A dilettantism in nature is barren and unworthy. A fop of fields is no better than his brother on Broadway.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The good husband finds method ...

The good husband finds method as efficient in the packing of fire-wood in a shed, or in the harvesting of fruits in the cellar, as in Peninsular campaigns or the files of the Department of State.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Examples are cited by soldiers...

Examples are cited by soldiers, of men who have seen the cannon pointed, and the fire given to it, and who have stepped aside from he path of the ball. The terrors of the storm are chiefly confined to the parlour and the cabin.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Happy will that house be in wh...

Happy will that house be in which the relations are formed from character; after the highest, and not after the lowest order; the house in which character marries, and not confusion and a miscellany of unavowable motives.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

You will think me very pedantic, gentlemen, but holiday though it may be, I have not the smallest interest in any holiday, except as it celebrates real and not pretended joys.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The intellect,-that is miracul...

The intellect,-that is miraculous! Who has it, has the talisman: his skin and bones, though they were of the color of night, are transparent, and the everlasting stars shine through, with attractive beams.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

To be rich is to have a ticket...

To be rich is to have a ticket of admission to the masterworks and chief men of each race. It is to have the sea, by voyaging; to visit the mountains, Niagara, the Nile, the desert, Rome, Paris, Constantinople: to see galleries, libraries, arsenals, manufactories.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Fear, when your friends say to...

Fear, when your friends say to you what you have done well, and say it through; but when they stand with uncertain timid looks of respect and half-dislike, and must suspend their judgement for years to come, you may begin to hope.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Bonaparte knew but one merit, ...

Bonaparte knew but one merit, and rewarded in one and the same way the good soldier, the good astronomer, the good poet, the good player.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Deep insight will always, like...

Deep insight will always, like Nature, ultimate its thought in a thing.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The stars awaken a certain rev...

The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible; but all natural objects make a kindred impression, when the mind is open to their influence. Nature never wears a mean appearance.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Don't choose the better person...

Don't choose the better person, choose the person who makes a better you.

History - a biography of a few stout and earnest persons

A true man belongs to no other time or place, but is the center of things.

A system-grinder hates the truth.
