America is a country of young men.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Crossing a bare common, in snow puddles at twilight, under a clouded sky, without having in my thoughts any occurrence of special good fortune, I have enjoyed perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the brink of fear.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A good symbol is the best argument, and is a missionary to persuade thousands.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Never try to make anyone like you: you know, and God knows, that one of you is enough.

No orator can top the one who can give good nicknames.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Converse with a mind that is ...

Converse with a mind that is grandly simple, and literature looks like word-catching.

There are men whose manners have the same essential splendor as the simple and awful sculpture on the friezes of the Parthenon, and the remains of the earliest Greek art.

Truth is too simple for us: we do not like those who unmask our illusions.

Throb thine with Nature's throbbing breast.

Our moods do not believe in each other. To-day I am full of thoughts, and can write what I please. I see no reason why I should not have the same thought, the same power of expression, to-morrow. What I write, whilst I write it, seems the most natural thing in the world; but yesterday I saw a dreary vacuity in this direction in which now I see so much; and a month hence, I doubt not, I shall wonder who he was that wrote so many continuous pages. Alas for this infirm faith, this will not strenuous, this vast ebb of a vast flow! I am God in nature; I am a weed by the wall.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Our age is retrospective. It builds the sepulchres of the fathers. It writes biographies, histories and criticism.

Meek young men grow up in libraries.

In America the geography is sublime, but the men are not; the inventions are excellent, but the inventors one is sometimes ashamed of.

Insist on your life, never imitate... do that which is assigned to you, and you cannot hope too much or dare too much.

Men lose their tempers in defending their taste.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The key to the age may be thi...

The key to the age may be this, or that, or the other, as the young orators describe; the key to all ages is - Imbecility; imbecility in the vast majority of men, at all times, and, even in heroes, in all but certain eminent moments; victims of gravity

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Here is the world, sound as a...

Here is the world, sound as a nut, perfect, not the smallest piece of chaos left, never a stitch nor an end, not a mark of haste, or botching, or second thought; but the theory of the world is a thing of shreds and patches.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

One of our statesmen said, "T...

One of our statesmen said, "The curse of this country is eloquent men."

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The voyage of the best ship i...

The voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tacks. See the line from a sufficient distance, and it straightens itself to the average tendency. Your genuine action will explain itself, and will explain your other genuine actions. Your conformity explains nothing. Act singly, and what you have already done singly will justify you now. Greatness appeals to the future.

Spartans, stoics, heroes, saints and gods use short and positive speech.
