All great natures delight in ...

All great natures delight in stability; all great men find eternity affirmed in the very promise of their faculties.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The world looks like a multip...

The world looks like a multiplication-table, or a mathematical equation, which, turn it how you will, balances itself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The spirit of our American ra...

The spirit of our American radicalism is destructive and aimless; it is not loving; it has no ulterior and divine ends; but is destructive only out of hatred and selfishness.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The French woman says, 'I am ...

The French woman says, 'I am a woman and a Parisienne, and nothing foreign to me appears altogether human.'

The most Indian thing about t...

The most Indian thing about the Indian is surely not his moccasins or his calumet, his wampum or his stone hatched, but traits of character and sagacity, skill, or passion.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The soul is the perceiver and...

The soul is the perceiver and revealer of truth. We know truth when we see it, let skeptic and scoffer say what they choose ... We distinguish the announcements of the soul, its manifestations of its own nature, by the term Revelation. These are always attended by the emotion of the sublime. For this communication is an influx of the Divine mind into our mind. It is an ebb of the individual rivulet before the flowing surges of the sea of life. Every distinct apprehension of this central commandment agitates men with awe and delight.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The House ...She lays her be...

The House ...She lays her beams in music, In music everyone, To the cadence of the whirling world Which dances around the sun- That so they shall not be displaced By lapses or by wars, But for the love of happy souls Outlive the newest stars.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Society is infested by person...

Society is infested by persons who, seeing that the sentiments please, counterfeit the expression of them. These we call sentimentalists - talkers who mistake the description for the thing, saying for having.

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

Daughter of heaven and earth,...

Daughter of heaven and earth, coy Spring,
With sudden passion languishing,
Teaching barren moors to smile,
Painting pictures mile on mile,
Holds a cup of cowslip wreaths
Whence a smokeless incense breathes.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The religion that is afraid o...

The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide. Every influx of atheism, of skepticism, is thus made useful as a mercury pill assaulting and removing a diseased religion, and making way for truth.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The last change in our point ...

The last change in our point of view gives the whole world a pictorial air.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

And so the reliance on Proper...

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

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

The influence of fine scenery...

The influence of fine scenery, the presence of mountains, appeases our irritations and elevates our friendships.

Literature is the effort of man to indemnify himself for the wrongs of his condition.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The objection to conforming to usages that have become dead to you is, that it scatters your force.

I do not wish to please him; I wish that he should wish to please me.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Our people are slow to learn ...

Our people are slow to learn the wisdom of sending character instead of talent to Congress. Again and again they have sent a man of great acuteness, a fine scholar, a fine forensic orator, and some master of the brawls has crunched him up in his hands like a bit of paper.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

What is life but the angle of...

What is life but the angle of vision? A man is measured by the angle at which he looks at objects.
