Personal rights, universally ...

Personal rights, universally the same, demand a government framed on the ratio of the census: property demands a government framedon the ratio of owners and of owning.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We over-estimate the conscien...

We over-estimate the conscience of our friend. His goodness seems better than our goodness, his nature finer, his temptations less. Everything that is his,--his name, his form, his dress, books, and instruments,--fancy enhances. Our own thought sounds new and larger from his mouth.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The whole constitution of pro...

The whole constitution of property on its present tenures, is injurious, and its influence on persons deteriorating and degrading.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We postpone our literary work...

We postpone our literary work until we have more ripeness and skill to write, and we one day discover that our literary talent wasa youthful effervescence which we have now lost.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every word was once a poem. E...

Every word was once a poem. Every new relation is a new word.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Intellectual tasting of life ...

Intellectual tasting of life will not supersede muscular activity. If a man should consider the nicety of the passage of a piece of bread down his throat, he would starve.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We judge of a man's wisdom by...

We judge of a man's wisdom by his hope, knowing that the inexhaustibleness of nature is an immortal youth.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We hear eagerly every thought...

We hear eagerly every thought and word quoted from an intellectual man. But in his presence our own mind is roused to activity, and we forget very fast what he says.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

An answer in words is delusiv...

An answer in words is delusive; it is really no answer to the questions you ask.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The democrat is a young conse...

The democrat is a young conservative; the conservative is an old democrat. The aristocrat is the democrat ripe, and gone to seed,--because both parties stand on the one ground of the supreme value of property, which one endeavors to get, and the other to keep.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Since everything in nature an...

Since everything in nature answers to a moral power, if any phenomenon remains brute and dark, it is that the corresponding faculty in the observer is not yet active.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The reverence for the deeds o...

The reverence for the deeds of our ancestors is a treacherous sentiment. Their merit was not to reverence the old, but to honor the present moment; and we falsely make them excuses of the very habit which they hated and defied.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Life has no memory. That whic...

Life has no memory. That which proceeds in succession might be remembered, but that which is coexistent, or ejaculated from a deeper cause, as yet far from being conscious, knows not its own tendency.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Why should all virtue work in...

Why should all virtue work in one and the same way? Why should all give dollars? It is very inconvenient to us country folk, and we do not think any good will come of it. We have not dollars; merchants have; let them give them. Farmers will give corn; poets will sing; women will sew; laborers will lend a hand; the children will bring flowers.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

It is said that when manners ...

It is said that when manners are licentious, a revolution is always near: the virtue of woman being the main girth and bandage ofsociety; because a man will not lay up an estate for children any longer than whilst he believes them to be his own.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Wild liberty develops iron co...

Wild liberty develops iron conscience. Want of liberty, by strengthening law and decorum, stupefies conscience.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A third felicity of age is th...

A third felicity of age is that it has found expression. The youth suffers not only from ungratified desires, but from powers untried, and from a picture in his mind of a career which has as yet no outward reality. He is tormented with the want of correspondence between things and thoughts.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

If I should go out of church ...

If I should go out of church whenever I hear a false statement I could never stay there five minutes. But why come out? The streetis as false as the church, and when I get to my house, or to my manners, or to my speech, I have not got away from the lie.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The longer we live the more w...

The longer we live the more we must endure the elementary existence of men and women; and every brave heart must treat society asa child, and never allow it to dictate.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

But the mark of American meri...

But the mark of American merit in painting, in sculpture, in poetry, in fiction, in eloquence, seems to be a certain grace withoutgrandeur, and itself not new but derivative; a vase of fair outline, but empty,--which whoso sees, may fill with what wit and character is in him, but which does not, like the charged cloud, overflow with terrible beauty, and emit lightnings on all beholders.
