Other Quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing -to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden. Ralph Waldo Emerson

The value of a dollar is to buy just things; a dollar goes on increasing in value with all the genius and all the virtue of the world. A dollar in a university is worth more than a dollar in a jail; in a temperate, schooled, law-abiding community than in some sink of crime, where dice, knives, and arsenic are in constant play. Ralph Waldo Emerson
One of our statesmen said, "the curse of this country is eloquent men." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Alas for the unhappy man that is called to stand in the pulpit, and not give the bread of life. Ralph Waldo Emerson
As gas-light is found to be the best nocturnal police, so the universe protects itself by pitiless publicity. Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the fault of our rhetoric that we cannot strongly state one fact without seeming to belie some other. Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are men too superior to be seen except by a few, as there are notes too high for the scale of most ears. Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are as much strangers in nature, as we are aliens from god. We do not understand the notes of birds. The fox and the deer run away from us; the bear and tiger rend us. We do not know the uses of more than a few plants, as corn and the apple, the potato and the vine. Is not the landscape, every glimpse of which hath a grandeur, a face of him? Ralph Waldo Emerson
Use what language you will, you can never say anything but what you are. Ralph Waldo Emerson
In certain men digestion and sex absorb the vital force, and the stronger these are, the individual is so much weaker. The more ofthese drones perish, the better for the hive. Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man of genius is privileged only as far as he is genius. His dullness is as insupportable as any other dullness. Ralph Waldo Emerson
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
A child reminds us that playtime is an essential part of our daily routine. Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do not yet trust the unknown power of thoughts. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Surely nobody would be a charlatan, who could afford to be sincere. Ralph Waldo Emerson
I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new. Ralph Waldo Emerson
