Instead of making Christianity a vehicle of truth, you make truth only a horse for Christianity.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

There is something servile in the habit of seeking after a law which we must obey.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

But I cannot recite, even thu...

But I cannot recite, even thus rudely, laws of the intellect, without remembering that lofty and sequestered class of men who have been its prophets and oracles, the high-priesthood of the pure reason, the Trismegisti, the expounders of the principles of thought from age to age.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Writing should be the settlement of dew on the leaf.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Character is higher than intellect. Thinking is the function; living is the functionary.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

But every jet of chaos which ...

But every jet of chaos which threatens to exterminate us is convertible by intellect into wholesome force. Fate is unpenetrated causes.

Tis the privilege of Art Thus to play its cheerful part, Man on earth to acclimate And bend the exile to his fate.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Great men, great nations, hav...

Great men, great nations, have not been boasters and buffoons, but perceivers of the terror of life, and have manned themselves to face it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every man is a borrower and a mimic, life is theatrical and literature a quotation.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The walls of rude minds are scrawled all over with facts, with thoughts. They shall one day bring a lantern and read the inscriptions.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

There is a good ear, in some men, that draws supplies to virtue out of very indifferent nutriment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

In the order of nature, we ca...

In the order of nature, we cannot render benefits to those from whom we receive them, or only seldom. But the benefit we receive must be rendered again, line for line, deed for deed, cent for cent, to somebody. Beware of too much good staying in your hand. It will fast corrupt and worm worms. Pay it away quickly in some sort.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Let us not look east and west...

Let us not look east and west for materials of conversation, but rest in presence and unity. A just feeling will fast enough supply fuel for discourse, if speaking be more grateful than silence. When people come to see us, we foolishly prattle, lest we be inhospitable. But things said for conversation are chalk eggs. Don't say things. What you are stands over you the while, and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Men grind and grind in the mi...

Men grind and grind in the mill of a truism, and nothing comes out but what was put in. But the moment they desert the tradition for a spontaneous thought, then poetry, wit, hope, virtue, learning, anecdote, and all flock to their aid.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The sea, washing the equator ...

The sea, washing the equator and the poles, offers its perilous aid, and the power and empire that follow it... ''Beware of me,'' it says, ''but if you can hold me, I am the key to all the lands.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

As many languages as he has, ...

As many languages as he has, as many friends, as many arts and trades, so many times is he a man.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The divine gift is ever the i...

The divine gift is ever the instant life, which receives and uses and creates, and can well bury the old in the omnipotency with which Nature decomposes all her harvest for recomposition.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Nothing will supply the want ...

Nothing will supply the want of sunshine to peaches, and, to make knowledge valuable, you must have the cheerfulness of wisdom. Whenever you are sincerely pleased you are nourished. The joy of the spirit indicates its strength. All healthy, things are sweet-tempered. Genius works in sport, and goodness smiles to the last.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The word Miracle, as pronounc...

The word Miracle, as pronounced by Christian churches, gives a false impression; it is Monster. It is not one with the blowing clover and the falling rain.

A cheerful, intelligent face is the end of culture.
