Text Quotes
There is the illusion of time, which is very deep; who has disposed of it? Mor come to the conviction that what seems the succession of thought is only the distribution of wholes into causal series  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) Yet time and space are but inverse measures of the force of the soul. The spirit sports with time  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) For the time of towns is tolled from the world by funereal chimes, but in nature the universal hours are counted by succeeding tribes of animals and plants, and by growth of joy on joy  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) The civility of the world has reached that pitch that their more moral genius is becoming indispensable, and the quality of this race is to be honored for itself  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) In our definitions, we grope after the spiritual by describing it as invisible. The true meaning of spiritual is real; that law which executes itself, which works without means, and which cannot be conceived as not existing  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) An orchard, good tillage, good grounds, seem a fixture, like a gold mine, or a river, to a citizen; but to a large farmer, not much more fixed than the state of the crop  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) Behind us, as we go, all things assume pleasing forms, as clouds do far off. Not only things familiar and stale, but even the tragic and terrible, are comely, as they take their place in the pictures of memory  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) If I quake, what matters it what I quake at? Our proper vice takes form in one or another shape, according to the sex, age, or temperament of the person, and, if we are capable of fear, will readily find terrors  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) Our condition as men is risky and ticklish enough. One can not be sure of himself and his fortune an hour, but he may be whisked off into some pitiable or ridiculous plight  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) The goitre of egotism is so frequent among notable persons, that we must infer some strong necessity in nature which it subserves;such as we see in the sexual attraction  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) The reverence for the deeds of our ancestors is a treacherous sentiment. Their merit was not to reverence the old, but to honor the present moment; and we falsely make them excuses of the very habit which they hated and defied  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) Men do not believe in the power of education. We do not think we can speak to divine sentiments in man, and we do not try. We renounce all high aims  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) The advantage in education is always with those children who slip up into life without being objects of notice  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) The intellect is vagabond, and our system of education fosters restlessness. Our minds travel when our bodies are forced to stay at home. We imitate; and what is imitation but the travelling of the mind?  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) If a teacher have any opinion which he wishes to conceal, his pupils will become as fully indoctrinated into that as into any which he publishes  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) Wherever there is power, there is age. Don’t be deceived by dimples and curls. I tell you that babe is a thousand years old  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) If you believe in the soul, do not clutch at sensual sweetness before it is ripe on the slow tree of cause and effect  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) All reform aims, in some one particular, to let the soul have its way through us; in other words, to engage us to obey  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) The soul knows only the soul; the web of events is the flowing robe in which she is clothed  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) The evolution of a highly destined society must be moral; it must run in the grooves of the celestial wheels  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) Not always can flowers, pearls, poetry, protestations, nor even home in another heart, content the awful soul that dwells in clay  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) Nothing can be more delicate without being fantastical, nothing more firm and based in nature and sentiment, than the courtship and mutual carriage of the sexes  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) Proverbs, words, and grammar inflections convey the public sense with more purity and precision, than the wisest individual  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) No man can quite emancipate himself from his age and country, or produce a model in which the education, the religion, the politics, usages, and arts, of his times shall have no share  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) The light by which we see in this world comes out from the soul of the observer. Wherever any noble sentiment dwelt, it made the faces and houses around to shine. Nay, the powers of this busy brain are miraculous and illimitable  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) Who heeds the waste abyss of possibility? The ocean is everywhere the same, but it has no character until seen with the shore or the ship  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) Since everything in nature answers to a moral power, if any phenomenon remains brute and dark, it is that the corresponding faculty in the observer is not yet active  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) The time will come when the evil forms we have known can no more be organized. Man’s culture can spare nothing, wants all material. He is to convert all impediments into instruments, all enemies into power  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) It is vain to keep a secret from one who has a right to know it. It will tell itself  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes) He is a good man, who can receive a gift well. We are either glad or sorry at a gift, and both emotions are unbecoming  (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
