Text Quotes
A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat; self control is the rule. Anger is an uncontrollable feeling that betrays what you are when you are not yourself. Anger is that powerful internal force that blows out the light of reason. Know this to be the enemy: it is anger, born of desire (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Beauty brings its own fancy price, for all that a man hath will he give for his love (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
God had infinite time to give us... He cut it up into a near succession of new mornings, and, with each, therefore, a new idea, new inventions, and new applications (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The poet, the painter, the sculptor, the musican, the architect, seek each to concentrate this radiance of the world on one point, and each in his several work to satisfy the love of beauty which stimulates him to produce (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
You cannot hide any secret. If the artist succor his flagging spirits by opium or wine, his work will characterize itself as the effect of opium or wine. If you make a picture or a statue, it sets the beholder in that state of mind you had when you made it. If you spend for show, on building, or gardening, or on pictures, or on equipages, it will so appear. We are all physiognomists and penetrators of character, and things themselves are detective (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The only right is what is after my constitution; the only wrong is what is against it (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Some of the sweetest hours in life, in retrospect will be found to have been spent with books (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The difference between talent and genius is in the direction of the current: in genius, it is from within outward; in talent from without inward (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The sweetest music is not in the oratorio, but in the human voice when it speaks from its instant life tones of tenderness, truth, or courage (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
In our fine arts, not imitation, but creation is the aim... The details, the prose of nature, he should omit, and give us only the spirit and splendour (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
A man must be in sympathy with society around him, or else, not wish to be in sympathy with it. If neither of these two, he must be wretched (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Very idle is all curiosity concerning other people’s estimate of us, and all fear of remaining unknown is not less so (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Let not the author eat up the man, so that he shall be all balcony and no house (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The delicate muses lose their head if their attention is once diverted. Perhaps if you were successful abroad in talking and dealing with men, you would not come back to your bookshelf and your task. When the spirit chooses you for its scribe to publish some commandment, it makes you odious to men and men odious to you, and you shall accept that loathsomeness with joy. The moth must fly to the lamp, and you must solve those questions though you die (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Art is the need to create; but in its essence, immense and universal, it is impatient of working with lame or tied hands, and of making cripples and monsters, such as all pictures and statues are. Nothing less than the creation of man and nature is its end (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
A good form strikes all eyes pleasantly, long before they have any science on the subject; and a beautiful face sets twenty hearts in palpitation, prior to all consideration of the mechanical proportions of the features and head (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The art of sculpture is long ago perished to any real effect... it is the game of a rude and youthful people, and not the manly labour of a wise and spiritual nation (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
It is the secret of the world that all things subsist and do not die, but only retire a little from sight and afterward return again (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
You see, it’s all clear, we were meant to be here from the beginning (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
When I first open my eyes upon the morning meadows and look out upon the beautiful world, I thank God I am alive (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Strong men greet war, tempest, hard times. They wish, as Pindar said, to tread the floors of hell, with necessities as hard as iron (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The passive master lent his hand, to the vast soul which o’er him planned (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
God said, I am tired of kings, I suffer them no more; Up to my ear this morning brings The outrage of the poor (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
If thou fill thy brain with Boston and New York, with fashion and covetousness, and wilt stimulate thy jaded senses with wine and French coffee, thou shalt find no radiance of wisdom in the lonely waste of the pinewoods (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Life is wasted in the necessary preparation of finding what is the true way, and we die just as we enter it (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
All that can be done for you is nothing to what you can do for yourself (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The exercise of all the senses is as intense pleasure, as anyone will find, who recovers the use of one after being deprived of it (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Natural science sharpens the discrimination. There is no false logic in nature. All its properties are permanent: the acids and metals never lie; their yea is yea, their nay, nay. They are newly discovered but not new (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
We are always getting ready to live, but never living... The wave moves onward but the particles of which it is composed do not... It cannot be but that at intervals throughout society there are real men intermixed... as the carpenter puts one iron bar in his bannister for every five or six wooden ones (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
