Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

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

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Always do what you are afraid to do.

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