We want a state of things in ...

We want a state of things in which crime will not pay, a state of things which allows every man the largest liberty compatible with the liberty of every other man.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The most advanced nations are...

The most advanced nations are always those who navigate the most. The power which the sea requires in the sailor makes a man of him very fast, and the change of shores and population clears his head of much nonsense of his wigwam.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

And, in fine, the ancient pre...

And, in fine, the ancient precept, "Know thyself," and the modern precept, "Study nature," become at last one maxim.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Each man has his own vocation...

Each man has his own vocation. The talent is the call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him. He has faculties silently inviting him thither to endless exertion. He is like a ship in the river; he runs against obstructions on every side but one; on that side all obstruction is taken away, and he sweeps serenely over a deepening channel into an infinite sea.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Thought is the seed of action...

Thought is the seed of action; but action is as much its second form as thought is its first.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every thought is public, Ever...

Every thought is public, Every nook is wide; Thy gossips spread each whisper, And the gods from side to side.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Wherever the truth is injured...

Wherever the truth is injured, defend it.

England produces under favorable conditions of ease and culture the finest women in the world. And, as the men are affectionate and true-hearted, the women inspire and refine them.

We live ruins amid ruins.

The secret of culture is to l...

The secret of culture is to learn, that a few great points steadily reappear, alike in the poverty of the obscurest farm, and in the miscellany of metropolitan life, and that these few are alone to be regarded,--the escape from all false ties; courage to be what we are; and love what is simple and beautiful; independence and cheerful relation, these are the essentials,--these, and the wish to serve,--to add somewhat to the well-being of men.

When the spirit is not master of the world, then it is its dupe.

Teach me your mood, O patient...

Teach me your mood, O patient stars. Who climb each night, the ancient sky. leaving on space no shade, no scars, no trace of age, no fear to die.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Genius is the power to labor ...

Genius is the power to labor better and more availably. Deserve thy genius: exalt it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The age of puberty is a crisi...

The age of puberty is a crisis in the age of man worth studying. It is the passage from the unconscious to the conscious; from thesleep of passions to their rage.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Whenever a mind is simple and...

Whenever a mind is simple and receives an old wisdom, old things pass away,--means, teachers, texts, temples fall; it lives now, and absorbs past and future into present hour. All things are made sacred by relation to it,--one as much as another.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Yet some natures are too good...

Yet some natures are too good to be spoiled by praise, and wherever the vein of thought reaches down into the profound, there is no danger from vanity. Solemn friends will warn them of the danger of the head's being turned by the flourish of trumpets, but they can afford to smile.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The Oversoul is before Time, ...

The Oversoul is before Time, and Time, Father of all else, is one of his children.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

He in whom the love of truth ...

He in whom the love of truth predominates . . . submits to the inconvenience of suspense and imperfect opinion; but he is a candidate for truth . . . and respects the highest law of his being.

Never mind the ridicule, never mind the defeat: up again, old heart!-it seems to say,-there is victory yet for all justice; and the true romance which the world exists to realize, will be the transformation of genius into practical power.
