Text Quotes
General ideas are essences. They are our gods: they round and ennoble the most partial and sordid way of living (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Come out of the azure. Love the day. Do not leave the sky out of your landscape (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Life is a festival only to the wise. Seen from the nook and chimneyside of prudence, it wears a ragged and dangerous front (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Not in nature but in man is all the beauty and worth he sees. The world is very empty, and is indebted to this gilding, exalting soul for all its pride (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The first in time and the first in importance of the influences upon the mind is that of nature. Every day, the sun; and after sunset, night and her stars. Ever the winds blow; ever the grass grows (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Be sure then to read no mean books. Shun the spawn of the press on the gossip of the hour. Do not read what you shall learn, without asking, in the street and the train (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
It is said, no man can write but one book; and if a man have a defect, it is apt to leave its impression on all his performances (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Good writing is a kind of skating which carries off the performer where he would not go, and is only right admirable when to all its beauty and speed a subserviency to the will, like that of walking, is added (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
He that writes to himself writes to an eternal public. That statement only is fit to be made public, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy your own curiosity (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
All I know is reception; I am and I have: but I do not get, and when I fancied I had gotten anything, I found I did not (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
I am present at the sowing of the seed of the world. With a geometry of sunbeams, the soul lays the foundations of nature (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
A fact is the end or last issue of spirit. The visible creation is the terminus or the circumference of the invisible world (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
When I behold a rich landscape, it is less to my purpose to recite correctly the order and superposition of the strata, than to know why all thought of multitude is lost in a tranquil sense of unity (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The shows of the day, the dewy morning, the rainbow, mountains, orchards in blossom, stars, moonlight, shadows in still water, andthe like, if too eagerly hunted, become shows merely, and mock us with their unreality (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
We live in a system of approximations. Every end is prospective of some other end, which is also temporary; a round and final success nowhere. We are encamped in nature, not domesticated (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
By degrees we may come to know the primitive sense of the permanent objects of nature, so that the world shall be to us an open book, and every form significant of its hidden life and final cause (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The wheels and springs of man are all set to the hypothesis of the permanence of nature. We are not built like a ship to be tossed, but like a house to stand (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Nature avenges herself speedily on the hard pedantry that would chain her waves. She is no literalist. Every thing must be taken genially, and we must be at the top of our condition, to understand any thing rightly (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
It never was in the power of any man or any community to call the arts into being. They come to serve his actual wants, never to please his fancy (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The highest praise we can attribute to any writer, painter, sculptor, builder, is, that he actually possessed the thought or feeling with which he has inspired us (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
A work of art is an abstract or epitome of the world. It is the result or expression of nature, in miniature. For, although the works of nature are innumerable and all different, the result or the expression of them all is similar and single (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Art, in the artist, is proportion, or, a habitual respect to the whole by an eye loving beauty in details. And the wonder and charm of it is the sanity in insanity which it denotes (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
How often we must remember the art of the surgeon, which, in replacing the broken bone, contents itself with releasing the parts from false position; they fly into place by the action of the muscles. On this art of nature all our arts rely (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Unhappily, no man exists who has not in his own person become, to some amount, a stockholder in the sin, and so made himself liable to a share in the expiation (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Worst, when this sensualism intrudes into the education of young women, and withers the hope and affection of human nature, by teaching that marriage signifies nothing but a housewife’s thrift, and that woman’s life has no other aim (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The saint and poet seek privacy to ends the most public and universal: and it is the secret of culture, to interest the man more in his public, than in his private quality (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The solitary knows the essence of the thought, the scholar in society only its fair face (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Solitude is impractical, and society fatal. We must keep our head in the one and our hands in the other. The conditions are met, if we keep our independence, yet do not lose our sympathy (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
I hate to be defended in a newspaper. As long as all that is said is said against me, I feel a certain assurance of success. But as soon as honeyed words of praise are spoken for me, I feel as one that lies unprotected before his enemies (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
We must not inquire too curiously into the absolute value of literature. Enough that it amuses and exercises us. At least it leaves us where we were. It names things, but does not add things (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
