A collection of Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotations

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.

What omniscience has music! So absolutely impersonal, yet every sufferer feels his secret sorrow soothed.

Let not a man guard his dignity, but let his dignity guard him.

To know one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Insist on yourself; never imitate… Every great man is unique.

Common sense is as rare as genius.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely…

A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat; self-control is the rule.

The imbecility of men is always inviting the impudence of power.

There is always room for a man of force, and he makes room for many.

The key to every man is his thought. Sturdy and defying though he look, he has a helm which he obeys, which is the idea after which all his facts are classified. He can only be reformed by showing him a new idea which commands his own.

Do what you know and perception is converted into character.

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,Here once the embattled farmers stood,And fired the shot heard round the world.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with in us.

Be as beneficent as the sun or the sea, but if your rights as a rational being are trenched on, die on the first inch of your territory.

I have heard with admiring submission the experience of the lady who declared that the sense of being well-dressed gives a feeling of inward tranquillity which religion is powerless to bestow.

Every revolution was first a thought in one man’s mind.

A chief event in life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.

The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.

Life is a progress, and not a station.

The god of the cannibals will be a cannibal, of the crusaders a crusader, and of the merchants a merchant.

What greater pain could mortals have than this To see their children dead before their eyes

What is a weed A plant whose virtues have never been discovered.

Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.

Universities are of course hostile to geniuses, which, seeing and using ways of their own, discredit the routine as churches and monasteries persecute youthful saints.

In the woods is perpetual youth.
