People suffer all their life ...

People suffer all their life long, under the foolish superstition that they can be cheated. But it is impossible for a person to be cheated by anyone but himself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Power is what they want, not ...

Power is what they want, not candy-power to execute their design, power to give legs and feet, form and actuality to their thought; which, to a clear-sighted man, appears the end for which the universe exists, and all its resources might be well applied.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We say love is blind, and the...

We say love is blind, and the figure of Cupid is drawn with a bandage around his eyes. Blind - yes, because he does not see what he does not like; but the sharpest-sighted hunter in the universe is Love for finding what he seeks, and only that.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

In dealing with the State, we...

In dealing with the State, we ought to remember that its institutions are not aboriginal, though they existed before we were born; that they are not superior to the citizen; that every one of them was once the act of a single man; every law and usage was a man's expedient to meet a particular case; that they all are imitable, all alterable; we may make as good; we may make better.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Among provocative, the next best thing to good preaching is bad preaching.

The wise man always throws himself on the side of his assailants. It is more his interest than it is theirs to find his weak point.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The lessons of science should...

The lessons of science should be experimental also. The sight of a planet through a telescope is worth all the course on astronomy; the shock of the electric spark in the elbow outvalues all theories; the taste of the nitrous oxide, the firing of an artificial volcano, are better than volumes of chemistry.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Astronomy is a cold, desert s...

Astronomy is a cold, desert science, with all its pompous figures,-depends a little too much on the glass-grinder, too little on the mind. 'T is of no use to show us more planets and systems. We know already what matter is, and more or less of it does not signify.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Fate, then, is a name for fac...

Fate, then, is a name for facts not yet passed under the fire of thought; for causes which are unpenetrated.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

I do then with my friends as ...

I do then with my friends as I do with my books. I would have them where I can find them, but I seldom use them.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Never self-possessed, or prudent, love is all abandonment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Cities force growth and make ...

Cities force growth and make people talkative and entertaining, but they also make them artificial.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

I like to be beholden to the ...

I like to be beholden to the great metropolitan English speech, the sea which receives tributaries from every region under heaven.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

So in writing, there is alway...

So in writing, there is always a right word, and every other than that is wrong. There is no beauty in words except in their collocation. The effect of a fanciful word misplaced, is like that of a horn of exquisite polish growing on a human head.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Preaching is the expression of moral sentiments applied to the duties of life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The sanity of society is a balance of a thousand insanity's.

Too busy with the crowded hour to fear to live or die.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Skepticism is unbelief in cause and effect.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

In like manner the effect of ...

In like manner the effect of every action is measured by the depth of the sentiment from which it proceeds. The great man knew not that he was great. It took a century or two for that fact to appear. What he did, he did, he did because he must; it was the most natural thing in the world, and grew out of the circumstances of the moment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Wise men are not wise at all ...

Wise men are not wise at all hours, and will speak five times from their taste or their humor, to once from their reason.
