Ralph Waldo Emerson

“To the poet, the philosopher, the saint, all things are sacred, all events profitable, all days holy, all men divine.”

“Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.”

“To the dull mind all nature is leaden. To the illumined mind the whole world sparkles with light.”

“Who looks upon a river in a meditative hour, and is not reminded of the flux of all things? Throw a stone into the stream, and the circles that propagate themselves are the beautiful type of all influence.”

The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

May you always do what you are afraid to do.

Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.

“Little minds have little worries, big minds have no time for worries.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.

Be not the slave of your own past - plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with new self-respect, with new power, and with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.

What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.
