And Now The Quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson:
A child is a curly, dimpled lunatic.
There is no den in the wide world to hide a rogue. Commit a crime and the earth is made of glass. Commit a crime, and it seems as if a coat of snow fell on the ground, such as reveals in the woods the track of every partridge, and fox, and squirrel.
The only way to have a friend is to be one.
Beauty without grace is the hook without the bait.
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
Insist on yourself; never imitate... Every great man is unique.
If I have lost confidence in myself, I have the universe against me.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch of a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success.
The first wealth is health.
A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat; self-control is the rule.
If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.
Every great and commanding moment in the annals of the world is the triumph of some enthusiasm.
Finish each day before you begin the next, and interpose a solid wall of sleep between the two. This you cannot do without temperance.
All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.
The next thing to saying a good thing yourself, is to quote one.
A good intention but fixed and resolute - bent on high and holy ends, we shall find means to them on every side and at every moment; and even obstacles and opposition will but make us "like the fabled specter-ships," which sail the fastest in the very teeth of the wind.
Conversation is an art in which a man has all mankind for competitors.
To laugh often and much to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others to leave the world a little better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success.
Go often to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.
Life is a festival only to the wise.
The reliance on property is...the want of self-reliance. Men measure the esteem of each other by what each has, and not by what each is. But a cultivated man becomes ashamed of his property...(Essays)
In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed.
A painter told me that nobody could draw a tree without in some sort becoming a tree or draw a child by studying the outlines of its form merely . . . but by watching for a time his motions and plays, the painter enters into his nature and can then draw him at every attitude . . .
There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.
Every burned book or house enlightens the world every suppressed or expunged word reverberates through the earth from side to side.
Truth is the summit of being justice is the application of it to affairs.
The things taught in colleges and schools are not an education, but the means of education.
I like to have a man's knowledge comprehend more than one class of topics, one row of shelves. I like a man who likes to see a fine barn as well as a good tragedy.
Be careful what you set your heart on, for it will surely be yours.
All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through luxury of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive.
In the matter of religion, people eagerly fasten their eyes on the difference between their own creed and yours whilst the charm of the study is in finding the agreements and identities in all the religions of humanity.
The thirst for adventure is the vent which Destiny offers a war, a crusade, a gold mine, a new country, speak to the imagination and offer swing and play to the confined powers.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
I used to always think that I'd look back on us crying and laugh, but, I never thought I'd look back on us laughing and cry.
None of us will every accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone.
