And Now Some Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotations …
Children are all foreigners.
The world belongs to the energetic.
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
Work and acquire, and thou hast chained the wheel of Chance.
Conversation is an art in which a man has all mankind for his competitors, for it is that which all are practising every day while they live.
Let not a man guard his dignity, but let his dignity guard him.
Whoever is open, loyal, true; of humane and affable demeanour; honourable himself, and in his judgement of others; faithful to his word as to law, and faithful alike to God and man….such a man is a true gentleman.
The only gift is a portion of thyself.
I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the Stern Fact, the Sad Self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from.
I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.
Democracy becomes a government of bullies tempered by editors.
Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experience.
The peril of every fine faculty is the delight of playing with it for pride. Talent is commonly developed at the expense of character, and the greater it grows, the more is the mischief. Talent is mistaken for genius, a dogma or system for truth, ambition for greatest, ingenuity for poetry, sensuality for art.
Commit a crime and the earth is made of glass.
Solitude, the safeguard of mediocrity.
It makes a great difference in the force of a sentence, whether a man be behind it or no.
Speak what you think to-day in words as hard as cannon-balls and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day.
Skill to do comes of doing.
Ideas must work through the brains and the arms of good and brave men, or they are no better than dreams.
It seems to me that perfection of means and confusion of goals seems to characterize our age.
Go often to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.
Be and not seem.
Tobacco, coffee, alcohol, hashish, prussic acid, strychnine, are weak dilutions the surest poison is time.
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam that flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his own thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts they come back to us with a sort of alienated majesty.
They can conquer who believe they can. He has not learned the first lesson in life who does not every day surmount a fear.
Insist on yourself never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life’s cultivation but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession… Do that which is assigned to you, and you cannot hope too much or dare too much.
A good intention clothes itself with power.
I am sure of this, that by going much alone a man will get more of a noble courage in thought and word than from all the wisdom that is in books.
Be careful what you set your heart on, for it will surely be yours.
He then learns that in going down into the secrets of his own mind he has descended into the secrets of all minds.
Don’t waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.
Every sweet has its sour every evil its good.
Insist on yourself never imitate… Every great man is unique.
