Other Quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Good breeding, a union of kindness and independence. Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are books... Which rank in our life with parents and lovers and passionate experiences. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man believes that he has greater possibilities. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of our science, and such is the mechanical determination of our age, and so recent are our best contrivances, that use has not dulled our joy and pride in them. These arts open great gates of a future, promising to make the world plastic and to lift human life out of its beggary to a godlike ease and power. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. Ralph Waldo Emerson
I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Perhaps it is the lowest of the qualities of an orator, but it is, on so many occasions, of chief importance,--a certain robust and radiant physical health; or--shall i say?--great volumes of animal heat. Ralph Waldo Emerson
A right rule for a club would be,-admit no man whose presence excludes any one topic. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Poetry teaches the enormous force of a few words, and, in proportion to the inspiration, checks loquacity. Ralph Waldo Emerson
A character is like an acrostic or alexandrian stanza; - read it forward, backward, or across, it still spells the same thing. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Women, as most susceptible, are the best index of the coming hour. Ralph Waldo Emerson
For all symbols are fluxional; all language is vehicular and transitive, and is good, as ferries and horses are, for conveyance, not as farms and houses are, for homestead. Ralph Waldo Emerson
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
Too busy with the crowded hour to fear to live or die. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lose yourself in nature and find peace Ralph Waldo Emerson
I believe it is the conviction of the purest men, that the net amount of man and man does not much vary. Each is incomparably superior to his companion in some faculty. His want of skill in other directions, has added to his fitness for his own work. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Manners have been somewhat cynically defined to be a contrivance of wise men to keep fools at a distance. Fashion is shrewd to detect those who do not belong to her train, and seldom wastes her attentions. Society is very swift in its instincts, and if you do not belong to it, resists and sneers at you, or quietly drops you. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great men are sincere. Ralph Waldo Emerson
The art of conversation, or the qualification for a good companion, is a certain self-control, which now holds the subject, now lets it go, with a respect for the emergencies of the moment. Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a genius of a nation, which is not to be found in the numerical citizens, but which characterizes the society. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Commonsense is the wick of the candle. Ralph Waldo Emerson
In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius is the power to labor better and more availably. Deserve thy genius: exalt it. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nor knowest thou what argument thy life to thy neighbor's creed has lent. All are needed by each one; nothing is fair or good alone. Ralph Waldo Emerson
