"Many might go to Heaven with half..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Harmony of aim, not identity of conclusion, is the secret of sympathetic life.”

“The true test of civilization is not the census, nor the size of cities, nor the crops - no, but the kind of man the country turns out.”

“A man is the whole encyclopedia of facts.”

“When you were called, did you answer or did you not? Perhaps softly and in a whisper?”

“If you insist on being determined by the past that's your game, but the fact of the matter is it all starts right now.”

“Your life is magnificent not because someone says it is, but because you choose to see it as such”

“In a thousand apparently humble ways men busy themselves to make some right take the place of some wrong,--if it is only to make abetter paste blacking,--and they are themselves so much the better morally for it.”

“Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern; it will come out a rose by and by. Life is like that - one stitch at a time taken patiently and the pattern will come out all right like the embroidery.”

“Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.”
