Text Quotes
If, at any time, it comes into my head, that a present is due from me to somebody, I am puzzled what to give, until the opportunity is gone (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Success goes thus invariably with a certain plus or positive power: an ounce of power must balance an ounce of weight (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The secret of success lies never in the amount of money, but in the relation of income to outgo (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The cold, inconsiderate of persons, tingles your blood, benumbs your feet, freezes a man like an apple (Ralph Waldo Emerson 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 (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
How much we forgive to those who yield us the rare spectacle of heroic manners! We will pardon them the want of books, or arts, and even of gentler virtues. How tenaciously we remember them! (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Times of heroism are generally times of terror, but the day never shines in which this element may not work (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Do not shut up the young people against their will in a pew, and force the children to ask them questions for an hour against their will (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The things we now esteem fixed shall, one by one, detach themselves, like ripe fruit, from our experience, and fall. The wind shall blow them none knows whither (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
We say that every man is entitled to be valued by his best moment. We measure our friends so. We know, they have intervals of folly, whereof we take no heed, but wait the reappearings of the genius, which are sure and beautiful (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
I pray my companion, if he wishes for bread, to ask me for bread, and if he wishes for sassafras or arsenic, to ask me for them, and not to hold out his plate, as if I knew already (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
I wish to speak with all respect of persons, but sometimes I must pinch myself to keep awake, and preserve the due decorum. They melt so fast into each other, that they are like grass and trees, and it needs an effort to treat them as individuals (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Life must be lived on a higher plane. We must go up to a higher platform, to which we are always invited to ascend; there, the whole aspect of things changes (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The enthusiast always finds the master, the masters, whom he seeks. Always genius seeks genius, desires nothing so much as to be a pupil and to find those who can lend it aid to perfect itself (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The longer we live the more we must endure the elementary existence of men and women; and every brave heart must treat society asa child, and never allow it to dictate (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The wise and just man will always feel that he stands on his own feet; that he imparts strength to the state, not receives security from it; and if all went down, he and such as he would quite easily combine in a new and better constitution (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
And in cases where profound conviction has been wrought, the eloquent man is he who is no beautiful speaker, but who is inwardly drunk with a certain belief. It agitates and tears him, and perhaps almost bereaves him of the power of articulation (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The child realizes to every man his own earliest remembrance, and so supplies a defect in our education, or enables us to live over the unconscious history with a sympathy so tender as to be almost personal experience (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
History is full, down to this day, of the imbecility of kings and governors. They are a class of persons much to be pitied, for they know not what they should do (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
If the king is in the palace, nobody looks at the walls. It is when he is gone, and the house is filled with grooms and gazers, that we turn from the people, to find relief in the majestic men that are suggested by the pictures and the architecture (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
In every company, there is not only the active and passive sex, but, in both men and women, a deeper and more important sex of mind, namely, the inventive or creative class of both men and women, and the uninventive or accepting class (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Where is he who seeing a thousand men useless and unhappy, and making the whole region forlorn by their inaction, and conscious himself of possessing the faculty they want, does not hear his call to go and be their king? (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Man moves in all modes, by legs of horses, by wings of winds, by steam, by gas of balloon, by electricity, and stands on tiptoe threatening to hunt the eagle in his own element (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Instead of feeling a poverty when we encounter a great man, let us treat the new comer like a travelling geologist, who passes through our estate, and shows us good slate, or limestone, or anthracite, in our brush pasture (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
A great man scarcely knows how he dines, how he dresses; but without railing or precision, his living is natural and poetic (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
There are days when the great are near us, when there is no frown on their brow, no condescension even; when they take us by the hand, and we share their thought (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
In old persons, when thus fully expressed, we often observe a fair, plump, perennial waxen complexion, which indicates that all the ferment of earlier days has subsided into serenity of thought and behavior (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The merit of those who fill a space in the world’s history, who are borne forward, as it were, by the weight of thousands whom they lead, shed a perfume less sweet than do the sacrifices of private virtue (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The sentiment of virtue is a reverence and delight in the presence of certain divine laws. It perceives that this homely game of life we play, covers, under what seem foolish details, principles that astonish (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
In the country, without any interference from the law, the agricultural life favors the permanence of families (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
