It seems to be a rule of wisdom never to rely on your memory alone, scarcely even in acts of pure memory, but to bring the past for judgment into the thousand-eyed present, and live ever in a new day.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The world is emblematic. Parts of speech are metaphors, because the whole of nature is a metaphor of the human mind.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The maker of a sentence launc...

The maker of a sentence launches out into the infinite and builds a road into Chaos and old Night, and is followed by those who hear him with something of wild, creative delight.

No facts to me are sacred; none are profane.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

How can we speak of the actio...

How can we speak of the action of the mind under any divisions, as of its knowledge, of its ethics, of its works, and so forth, since it melts will into perception, knowledge into act? Each becomes the other. Itself alone is.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every day, the sun; and, afte...

Every day, the sun; and, after sunset, night and her stars. Ever the winds blow; ever the grass grows. Every day, men and women, conversing, beholding and beholden. The scholar is he of all men whom this spectacle most engages. He must settle its value in his mind. What is nature to him?

Let us be poised, and wise, and our own, today. Let us treat men and women well; treat them as if they were real; perhaps they are.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The terrors of the child are ...

The terrors of the child are quite reasonable, and add to his loveliness; for his utter ignorance and weakness, and his enchanting indignation on such a small basis of capital compel every bystander to take his part.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

I am at a loss to understand ...

I am at a loss to understand why people hold Miss Austen's novels at so high a rate, which seem to me vulgar in tone, sterile in artistic invention, imprisoned in their wretched conventions of English society, without genius, wit, or knowledge of the world. Never was life so pinched and narrow. ... All that interests in any character [is this]: has he (or she) the money to marry with? ... Suicide is more respectable.

Let a man then know his worth...

Let a man then know his worth and keep things under his feet.

The etymologist finds the deadest word to have been once a brilliant picture.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every man has a choice betwee...

Every man has a choice between love of truth and love of repose. Love of repose brings him a solid reputation and peaceful life; love of truth keeps him in suspense. A man who loves truth respects the highest law of his being.

Go cherish your soul; express companions; set your habits to a life of solitude; then will the faculties rise fair and full within.

Build therefore your own world.

I believe in Eternity. I can find Greece, Palestine, Italy, Spain, and the Islands, - the Genius and creative Principle of each and of all eras, in my own mind.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

It has been the office of art to educate the perception of beauty. We are immersed in beauty but our eyes have no clear vision.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

It is plain that there is no ...

It is plain that there is no separate essence called courage, no cup or cell in the brain, no vessel in the heart containing drops or atoms that make or give this virtue; but it is the right or healthy state of every man, when he is free to do that which is constitutional to him to do.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

History is the action and reaction of these two, nature and thought.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

If men would avoid that gener...

If men would avoid that general language and general manner in which they strive to hide all that is peculiar, and would say only what was uppermost in their own minds, after their own individual manner, every man would be interesting.

The populace drags down the gods to their own level.
