Necessity does everything wel...

Necessity does everything well. In our condition of universal dependence, it seems heroic to let the petitioner be the judge of his necessity, and to give all that is asked, though at great inconvenience.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

When you have worn out yourshoes, the strength of the shoe leather has passed into the fiber ofyour body. I measure your health by the number of shoes and hats andclothes you have worn out.

The most tedious of all discourses are on the subject of the Supreme Being.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Man is a shrewd inventor, and is ever taking the hint of a new machine from his own structure, adapting some secret of his own anatomy in iron, wood, and leather, to some required function in the work of the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Congratulate yourself if you ...

Congratulate yourself if you have done something strange, extravagant and broken the monotony.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The youth, intoxicated with his admiration of a hero, fails to see, that it is only a projection of his own soul, which he admires.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Invention breeds invention. N...

Invention breeds invention. No sooner is the electric telegraph devised than gutta-percha, the very material it requires, is found. The aeronaut is provided with gun-cotton, the very fuel he wants for his balloon.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A good intention clothes itself with sudden power. When a god wishes to ride, any chip or pebble will bud and shoot out winged feet, and serve him for a horse.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A man is a hero, not because he is braver than anyone else, but because he is brave for 10 minutes longer.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

And last of all, high over th...

And last of all, high over thought, in the world of morals, Fate appears as vindicator, levelling the high, lifting the low, requiring justice in man, and always striking soon or late when justice is not done. What is useful will last, what is hurtful will sink.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The whole of what we know is ...

The whole of what we know is a system of compensation. Every defect in one manner is made up in another. Every suffering is rewarded; every sacrifice is made up; every debt is paid.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every man beholds his human condition with a degree of melancholy. As a ship aground is battered by the waves, so man, imprisonedin mortal life, lies open to the mercy of coming events.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The masters painted for joy, ...

The masters painted for joy, and knew not that virtue had gone out of them. They could not paint the like in cold blood. The masters of English lyric wrote their songs so. It was a fine efflorescence of fine powers.

There is really no insurmountable barrier save your own inherent weakness of purpose.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A weed is a plant whose virtue is not yet known.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Each mind has its own method. A true man never acquires after college rules.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Slavery it is that makes slavery; freedom, freedom. The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Who shall forbid a wise skepticism, seeing that there is no practical question on which anything more than an approximate solution can be had?

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

In eloquence, the great trium...

In eloquence, the great triumphs of the art are when the orator is lifted above himself; when consciously he makes himself the mere tongue of the occasion and the hour, and says what cannot but be said. Hence the term "abandonment" to describe the self- surrender of the orator. Not his will, but the principle on which he is horsed, the great connection and crisis of events, thunder in the ear of the crowd.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Sanity consists in not being ...

Sanity consists in not being subdued by your means. Fancy prices are paid for position, and for the culture of talent, but to thegrand interests, superficial success is of no account.
