I am primarily engaged to myself to be a public servant of all the gods, to demonstrate to all men that there is intelligence andgood will at the heart of all things, and even higher and yet higher leadings. These are my engagements; how can your law further or hinder me in what I shall do to men?

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Great country, diminutive minds. America is formless, has no terrible and no beautiful condensation.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Do not shut up the young people against their will in a pew, and force the children to ask them questions for an hour against their will.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The hero is a mind of such ba...

The hero is a mind of such balance that no disturbances can shake his will, but pleasantly, and, as it were, merrily, he advancesto his own music, alike in frightful alarms and in the tipsy mirth of universal dissoluteness.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Savages cling to a local god ...

Savages cling to a local god of one tribe or town. The broad ethics of Jesus were quickly narrowed to village theologies, which preach an election or favoritism.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Culture is the suggestion, fr...

Culture is the suggestion, from certain best thoughts, that a man has a range of affinities through which he can modulate the violence of any master-tones that have a droning preponderance in his scale, and succor him against himself. Culture redresses this imbalance, puts him among equals and superiors, revives the delicious sense of sympathy, and warns him of the dangers of solitude and repulsion.

The richest of all lords is Use, And ruddy Health the loftiest Muse. Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, Drink the wild air's salubrity.

For it is not metres, but a metre-making argument that makes a poem.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The other terror that scares ...

The other terror that scares us from self-trust is our consistency; a reverence for our past act or word, because the eyes of others have no other data for computing our orbit than our past acts, and we are loath to disappoint them.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

There is no better way to exercise the imagination than the study of the law.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A collector recently bought at public auction, in London, for one hundred and fifty-seven guineas, an autograph of Shakespeare; but for nothing a school-boy can read Hamlet and can detect secrets of highest concernment yet unpublished therein.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Don't be a cynic, and bewail ...

Don't be a cynic, and bewail and bemoan. Omit the negative propositions. Don't waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good. Set down nothing that will help somebody.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The condition which high friendship demands is ability to do without it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Sooner or later that which is...

Sooner or later that which is now life shall be poetry, and every fair and manly trait shall add a richer strain to the song.

The dice of God are always lo...

The dice of God are always loaded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

This day is all that is good ...

This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

In the right hands, literature is not resorted to as a consolation, and by the broken and decayed, but as a decalogue.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The secret of fortune is joy ...

The secret of fortune is joy in our hands. Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide. Him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him because he did not need it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The roses under my window make no reference to former roses or better ones; they are what they are; they exist with God today. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.
