Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #1
A beautiful woman is a practical poet, taming her savage mate, planting tenderness, hope and eloquence in all whom she approaches.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #2
A boy is in the parlour what the pit is in the playhouse; independent, irresponsible, looking out from his corner on such people and facts as pass by, he tries and sentences them on their merits, in the swift, summary way of boys, as good, bad, interesting, silly, eloquent, troublesome. He cumbers himself never about consequences, about interests: he gives an independent, genuine verdict. You must court him: he does not court you. But the man is, as it were, clapped into jail by his consciousness. As soon as he has once acted or spoken with eclat, he is a committed person, watched by the sympathy or the hatred of hundreds, whose affections must now enter into his account. There is no Lethe for this. Ah, that he could pass again into his neutrality! Who can thus avoid all pledges, and having observed, observe again from the same unaffected, unbiased, unbribable, unaffrighted innocence, must always be formidable.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #3
A child is a curly, dimpled lunatic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #4
A day is a miniature eternity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #5
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #6
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud. I am arrived at last in the presence of a man so real and equal, that I may drop even those undermost garments of dissimulation, courtesy, and second thought, which men never put off, and may deal with him with the simplicity and wholeness with which one chemical atom meets another.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #7
A friend may be nature's most magnificent creation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #8
A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #9
A good indignation brings out all one's powers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #10
A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #11
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #12
A man in debt is so far a slave.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #13
A man is a god in ruins. When men are innocent, life shall be longer, and shall pass into the immortal, as gently as we awake from dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #14
A man is known by the books he reads.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #15
A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #16
A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #17
a man only knows what he's experienced
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #18
A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #19
A man's power to connect his thought with its proper symbol, and so to utter it, depends on the simplicity of his character, that is, upon his love of truth, and his desire to communicate it without loss.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #20
A mind might ponder its thought for ages, and not gain so much self-knowledge as the passion of love shall teach it in a day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #21
A more secret, sweet, and overpowering beauty appears to man when his heart and mind open to the sentiment of virtue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #22
A sect or party is an elegant incognito devised to save a man from the vexation of thinking.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #23
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #24
All diseases run into one, old age.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #25
All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #26
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #27
All mankind love a lover.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #28
All that we call sacred history attests that the birth of a poet is the principal event in chronology.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #29
All things are moral; and in their boundless changes have an unceasing reference to spiritual nature. Therefore is nature glorious with form, color, and motion, that every globe in the remotest heaven; every chemical change from the rudest crystal up to the laws of life; every change of vegetation from the first principle of growth in the eye of a leaf, to the tropical forest and antediluvian coal-mine; every animal function from the sponge up to Hercules, shall hint or thunder to man the laws of right and wrong, and echo the Ten Commandments.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote #30
Always do what you are afraid to do.
