A few Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotations
The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.
Give all to love; obey thy heart.
Nothing, at last, is sacred; but the integrity of your own mind.
The only way to have a friend is to be one.
Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet.
There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.
Every hero becomes a bore at last.
We do what we must, and call it by the best names.
There are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant.
Tis the good reader that makes the good book.
We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation-rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.
I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.
Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.
Character is higher than intellect… A great soul will be strong to live, as well as to think.
What can we see, read, acquire, but ourselves. Take the book, my friend, and read your eyes out, you will never find there what I find.
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little course, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.
The greatest homage we can pay truth is to use it.
Trust your instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could some blunders and absurdities have 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.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with in us.
Four snakes gliding up and down a hollow for no purpose that I could see — not to eat, not for love, but only gliding.
Can anybody remember when the times were not hard and money not scarce
It seems to me that perfection of means and confusion of goals seems to characterize our age.
A chief event in life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.
Character is what can do without success.
The world is emblematic. Parts of speech are metaphors because the whole of nature is a metaphor of the human mind.
All life is an experiment. The more experiments yoiu make the better.
A true friend is somebody who can make us do what we can.
It is commonly observed that a sudden wealth, like a prize drawn in a lottery or a large bequest to a poor family, does not permanently enrich. They have served no apprenticeship to wealth, and with the rapid wealth come rapid claims which they do not know how to deny, and the treasure is quickly dissipated.
A good intention clothes itself with power.
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.
Men’s actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.
Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end, requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs.
Adopt the pace of nature.
Insist on yourself never imitate… Every great man is unique.
