Success goes thus invariably ...

Success goes thus invariably with a certain plus or positive power: an ounce of power must balance an ounce of weight.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A man's personal defects will...

A man's personal defects will commonly have with the rest of the world precisely that importance which they have to himself. If he makes light of them, so will other men.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The German intellect wants the French sprightliness, the fine practical understanding of the English, and the American adventure; but it has a certain probity, which never rests in a superficial performance, but asks steadily, To what end? A German public asks for a controlling sincerity.

The eye is the first circle; the horizon which it forms is the second; and throughout nature this primary figure is repeated without end.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The energetic action of the times develops individualism, and the religious appear isolated. I esteem this a step in the right direction. Heaven deals with us on no representative system. Souls are not saved in bundles.

The merit claimed for the Anglican Church is that, if you let it alone, it will let you alone.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

There are three wants which never can be satisfied: that of the rich, who wants something more; that of the sick, who wants something different; and that of the traveler, who says anywhere but here.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

History no longer shall be a ...

History no longer shall be a dull book. It shall walk incarnate in every just and wise man. You shall not tell me by language and titles a catalogue of the volumes you have read. You shall make me feel what periods you have lived.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

He only is a well-made man who has a good determination. And the end of culture is not to destroy this, God forbid! but to train away all impediment and mixture and leave nothing but pure power.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A foolish consistency is the ...

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day.

Ideas must work through the brains and the arms of good and brave men or they are no better than dreams.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Let us make education brave and preventive. Politics is an afterwork, a poor patching. We are always a little late... We shall one day learn to supercede politics by education... We must begin higher up, namely in Education.

It is about your outlook towards life. You can either regret or rejoice.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

To go into solitude, a man ne...

To go into solitude, a man needs to retire as much from his chamber as from society. I am not solitary whilst I read and write, though nobody is with me. But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Look sharply after your own t...

Look sharply after your own thoughts. They come unlooked for, like a new bird seen on your trees, and, if you turn to your usual task, disappear; and you shall never find that perception again; never, I say-but perhaps years, ages, and I know not what events and worlds my lie between you and its return.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every book is good to read which sets the reader in a working mood.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Words are finite organs of the infinite mind. They cannot cover the dimensions of what is in truth. They break, chop, and impoverish it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every person has his or her own vocation-talent is the call.

The greatest homage to truth is to use it.

Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man.
