Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other, and thus makes him necessary to society. ... Society can never prosper, but must always be bankrupt, until every man does that which he was created to do.

Circumstance does not make the man. Circumstance reveals man to himself.

Conformity is the ape of harmony.

A gentleman makes no noise; a lady is serene.

An institution is the lengthened shadow of one man.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We forget ourselves and our d...

We forget ourselves and our destinies in health, and the chief use of temporary sickness is to remind us of these concerns.

A man is like a bit of Labrador spar, which has no luster as you turn it in your hand, until you come to a particular angle; then it shows deep and beautiful colors.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Drive out Nature with a fork,...

Drive out Nature with a fork, she comes running back.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The astonishment of life is the absence of any appearances of reconciliation between the theory and the practice of life.

We fancy men are individuals; so are pumpkins; but every pumpkin in the field goes through every point of pumpkin history.

Do you see that kitten chasing so prettily her own tail? If you could look with her eyes, you might see her surrounded with hundreds of figures performing complex dramas, with tragic and comic issues, long conversations, many characters, many ups and downs of fate.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Defect in manners is usually ...

Defect in manners is usually the defect of fine perceptions. Elegance comes of no breeding, but of birth.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

By necessity, by proclivity, ...

By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote. In fact, it is as difficult to appropriate the thoughts of others as it is to invent.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

In every work of genius we re...

In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

If the stars should appear on...

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore; and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown! But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.

The only gift is a portion of thyself . . . the poet brings his poem; the shepherd his lamb. . . .

It seems as if nature, in regarding the geologic night behind her, when, in five or six millenniums, she had turned out five or six men, as Homer, Phidias, Menu, and Columbus, was no wise discontented with the result. These samples attested the virtue of the tree.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

I have heard that whoever lov...

I have heard that whoever loves is in no condition old. I have heard that whenever the name of man is spoken, the doctrine of immortality is announced; it cleaves to his constitution. The mode of it baffles our wit, and no whisper comes to us from the other side. But the inference from the working of intellect, hiving knowledge, hiving skill,--at the end of life just ready to be born,--affirms the inspirations of affection and of the moral sentiment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

So much of our time is spent ...

So much of our time is spent in preparation, so much in routine, and so much in retrospect, that the amount of each person's genius is confined to a very few hours.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

For every grain of wit there ...

For every grain of wit there is a grain of folly.
