Be a little careful about you...

Be a little careful about your library. Do you foresee what you will do with it? Very little to be sure. But the real question is what it will do with you? You will come here and get books that will open your eyes, and your ears, and your curiosity, and turn you inside out or outside in.

Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinctions. No dignity, no learning, no force of character, can make any stand against good wit.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A low self-love in the parent desires that his child should repeat his character and fortune.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The essence of all jokes, of ...

The essence of all jokes, of all comedy, seems to be an honest or well intended halfness; a non performance of that which is pretended to be performed, at the same time that one is giving loud pledges of performance. The balking of the intellect, is comedy and it announces itself in the pleasant spasms we call laughter.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The laws of light and of heat...

The laws of light and of heat translate each other;-so do the laws of sound and colour; and so galvanism, electricity and magnetism are varied forms of this selfsame energy.

The soul is not born; it does not die; it was not produced from anyone? Unborn, eternal, it is not slain, though the body is slain.

Nations have lost their old omnipotence; the patriotic tiedoes not hold. Nations are getting obsolete, we go and live where we will.

Self-reliance is its aversion. It loves not realities and creators, but names and customs.

The only thing grief has taught me is to know how shallow it is.

Pines a thousand years old. Every year they must go farther for them: they recede, like beavers and Indians, before the white man.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every friend whom not thy fan...

Every friend whom not thy fantastic will but the great and tender heart in thee craveth, shall lock thee in his embrace. And this because the heart in thee is the heart of all; not a valve, not a wall, not an intersection is there anywhere in nature, but one blood rolls uninterruptedly in endless circulation through all men, as the water of the globe is all one sea, and, truly seen, its tide is one.

Wise men are not wise at all times.

Next to the originator of a good sentence is the first quoter of it. Many will read the book before one thinks of quoting a passage. As soon as he has done this, that line will be quoted east and west.

A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat; self-control is the rule.

The adventitious beauty of poetry may be felt in the greater delight with a verse given in a happy quotation than in the poem.

Infancy conforms to nobody; all conform to it.
