It is handsomer to remain in ...

It is handsomer to remain in the establishment better than the establishment, and conduct that in the best manner, than to make asally against evil by some single improvement, without supporting it by a total regeneration.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We fetch fire and water, run ...

We fetch fire and water, run about all day among the shops and markets, and get our clothes and shoes made and mended, and are thevictims of these details, and once in a fortnight we arrive perhaps at a rational moment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We have a great deal more kin...

We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. The whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether. How many persons we meet in houses, whom we scarcely speak to, whom yet we honor and who honor us! How many we see in the street, or sit with in church, whom though silently, we warmly rejoice to be with! Read the language of these wandering eye-beams. The heart knoweth.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

When there is sympathy, there...

When there is sympathy, there needs but one wise man in a company and all are wise,--so, a blockhead makes a blockhead of his companion. Wonderful power to benumb possesses this brother.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

I quote another man's saying; unluckily, that other withdraws himself in the same way, and quotes me.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We do not quite forgive a giv...

We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten. We can receive anything from love, forthat is a way of receiving it from ourselves; but not from any one who assumes to bestow. We sometimes hate the meat which we eat, because there seems something of degrading dependence in living it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

All forms of government symbo...

All forms of government symbolize an immortal government, common to all dynasties and independent of numbers, perfect where two men exist, perfect where there is only one man.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Many a reformer perishes in h...

Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,--and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are notequal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The history of reform is alwa...

The history of reform is always identical; it is the comparison of the idea with the fact. Our modes of living are not agreeable to our imagination. We suspect they are unworthy. We arraign our daily employments.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The new statement is always h...

The new statement is always hated by the old, and, to those dwelling in the old, comes like an abyss of skepticism.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Society is frivolous, and shr...

Society is frivolous, and shreds its day into scraps, its conversation into ceremonies and escapes.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The field cannot be well seen...

The field cannot be well seen from within the field. The astronomer must have his diameter of the earth's orbit as a base to fix the parallax of any other star

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

I am ashamed to see what a sh...

I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

If you meet a sectary, or a h...

If you meet a sectary, or a hostile partisan, never recognize the dividing lines; but meet on what common ground remains,--if onlythat the sun shines, and the rain rains for both; the area will widen very fast, and ere you know it the boundary mountains, on which the eye had fastened, have melted into air.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Observe how every truth and e...

Observe how every truth and every error, each a thought of someone's mind, clothes itself with societies, houses, cities, language, ceremonies, newspapers

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The piety of the Hebrew proph...

The piety of the Hebrew prophets purges their grossness. The circumcision is an example of the power of poetry to raise the low and offensive.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

I look on Sculpture as history. I do not think the Apollo and the Jove impossible in flesh and blood. Every trait the artist recorded in stone, he had seen in life, and better than his copy.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

What is man born for but to b...

What is man born for but to be a Reformer, a Remaker of what man has made? A renouncer of lies; a restorer of truth and good? Imitating that great Nature which embossoms us all, and which sleeps no moment on an old past, but every hour repairs herself, yielding us every morning a new day, with every breath a new life?

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A true man belongs to no othe...

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

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every man is the inlet and ma...

Every man is the inlet and may become the outlet of all there is in God.
