In the morning a man walks with his whole body; in the evening, only with his legs. RALPH WALDO EMERSON, Journals and Miscellaneous Notebooks Greek architecture is the perfect flowering of geometry.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Nature avenges herself speedi...

Nature avenges herself speedily on the hard pedantry that would chain her waves. She is no literalist. Every thing must be taken genially, and we must be at the top of our condition, to understand any thing rightly.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

By fate, not option, frugal N...

By fate, not option, frugal Nature gave One scent to hyson and to wall-flower, One sound to pine-groves and to water-falls, One aspect to the desert and the lake. It was her stern necessity : all things Are of one pattern made; bird, beast, and flower, Song, picture, form, space, thought, and character Deceive us, seeming to be many things, And are but one.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

If the colleges were better, ...

If the colleges were better, if they had the power of imparting valuable thought, creative principles, truths which become powers, thoughts which become talents, - if they could cause that a mind not profound should become profound, - we should all rush to their gates: instead of contriving inducements to draw students, you would need to set police at the gates to keep order in the in-rushing multitude.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The wheels and springs of man...

The wheels and springs of man are all set to the hypothesis of the permanence of nature. We are not built like a ship to be tossed, but like a house to stand.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

For no man can write anything...

For no man can write anything who does not think that what he writes is, for the time, the history of the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Besides the general infusion ...

Besides the general infusion of wit to heighten civility, the direct splendor of intellectual power is ever welcome in fine society, as the costliest addition to its rule and its credit.

The world is upheld by the veracity of good men: they make the earth wholesome.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We live in a system of approximations. Every end is prospective of some other end, which is also temporary; a round and final success nowhere. We are encamped in nature, not domesticated.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

It is a mischievous notion th...

It is a mischievous notion that we are come late into nature; that the world was finished a long time ago. As the world was plastic and fluid in the hands of God, so it is ever to so much of his attributes as we bring to it. To ignorance and sin, it is flint. They adapt to themselves to it as they may; but in proportion as a man has anything in him divine, the firmament flows before him and takes his signet and form.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

By degrees we may come to kno...

By degrees we may come to know the primitive sense of the permanent objects of nature, so that the world shall be to us an open book, and every form significant of its hidden life and final cause.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The wise skeptic does not tea...

The wise skeptic does not teach doubt but how] to look for the permanent in the mutable and fleeting.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature. Most persons do not see the sun. At least they have a very superficial seeing. The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and heart of the child.

We flee away from cities, but we bring The best of cities, these learned classifiers, Men knowing what they seek, armed eyes of experts.

I think no virtue goes with size;The reason of all cowardiceIs, that men are overgrown,And, to be valiant, must come downTo the titmouse dimension.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

...man is an analogist, and s...

...man is an analogist, and studies relations in all objects. He is placed in the center of beings, and a ray of relation passes from every other being to him. And neither can man be understood without these objects, nor these objects without man.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Is not prayer also a study of...

Is not prayer also a study of truth,--a sally of the soul into the unfound infinite? No man ever prayed heartily, without learningsomething. But when a faithful thinker, resolute to detach every object from personal relations, and see it in the light of thought, shall, at the same time, kindle science with the fire of the holiest affections, then will God go forth anew into creation.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Solitude, the safeguard of me...

Solitude, the safeguard of mediocrity, is to genius, the stern friend, the cold, obscure shelter where moult the wings which will bear it farther than suns and stars.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The word liberty in the mouth...

The word liberty in the mouth of Mr. Webster sounds like the word love in the mouth of a courtesan.

Circles, like the soul, are neverending and turn round and round without a stop.
