The imitator dooms himself to ...

The imitator dooms himself to hopeless mediocrity. The inventor did it because it was natural to him, and so in him it has a charm. In the imitator something else is natural, and he bereaves himself of his own beauty, to come short of another man's.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

If there is any period one wou...

If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution; when the old and the new stand side by side, and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are searched by fear and by hope; when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era?

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Throughout the ages there have...

Throughout the ages there have always been those who have been willing to go beyond the norms and reach for that unknown and distant star.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Hast thou named all the birds ...

Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

In talking with scholars, I observe that they lost on ruder companions those years of boyhood which alone could give imaginative literature a religious and infinite quality in their esteem.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Let me admonish you, first of ...

Let me admonish you, first of all, to go alone; to refuse the good models, even those which are sacred in the imagination of men, and dare to love God without mediator or veil.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Society, to be sure, does not ...

Society, to be sure, does not like this very well; it saith, Whoso goes to walk alone, accuses the whole world; he declares all to be unfit to be his companions; it is very uncivil, nay, insulting; Society will retaliate.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

I am grown by sympathy a littl...

I am grown by sympathy a little eager and sentimental, but leave me alone, and I should relish every hour and what it brought me, the pot-luck of the day, as heartily as the oldest gossip in the bar-room.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

I cannot go to the houses of my nearest relatives, because I do not wish to be alone. Society exists by chemical affinity, and not otherwise.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

To the men of this world, to t...

To the men of this world, to the animal strength and spirits, to the men of practical power, whilst immersed in it, the man of ideas appears out of his reason. They alone gave reason.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The universal soul is the alon...

The universal soul is the alone creator of the useful and the beautiful; therefore to make anything useful or beautiful, the individual must be submitted to the universal mind.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

It seems to be a rule of wisdo...

It seems to be a rule of wisdom never to rely on your memory alone, scarcely even in acts of pure memory, but to bring the past for judgment into the thousand-eyed present, and live ever in a new day.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Let him be great, and love sha...

Let him be great, and love shall follow him. Nothing is more deeply punished than the neglect of the affinities by which alone society should be formed, and the insane levity of choosing associates by others eyes.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Go where he will, the wise man...

Go where he will, the wise man is at home, His hearth the earth, his hall the azure dome.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Society everywhere is in consp...

Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

It is easy to see that a great...

It is easy to see that a greater self-reliance must work a revolution in all the offices and relations of men; in their religion; in their education; in their pursuits; their modes of living; their association; in their property; in their speculative views.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

And so the reliance on Propert...

And so the reliance on Property, including the reliance on governments which protect it, is the want of self-reliance.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the luster of the firmament of bards and sages

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We but half express ourselves,...

We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

He cumbers himself never about...

He cumbers himself never about consequences, about interests; he gives an independent, genuine verdict. You must court him: he does not court you. But the man is, as it were, clapped into jail by his consciousness.
