Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes
A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before.
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
Do the thing we fear, and death of fear is certain.
Genius always finds itself a century too early.
Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.
Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.
The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.
What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered.
Wisdom has its root in goodness, not goodness its root in wisdom.
A beautiful form is better than a beautiful face; it gives a higher pleasure than statues or pictures; it is the finest of the fine arts.
Always do what you are afraid to do.
As we grow old, the beauty steals inward.
Make yourself necessary to somebody.
Nature hates calculators.
The louder he talked of his honor the faster we counted our spoons.
