"An ounce of action is worth a..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Cultivate an attitude of gratitude, of giving and forgiving. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.”

“Nature is upheld by antagonism.”

“I--this thought which is called I--is the mould into which the world is poured like melted wax.”

“...an imperfect plan implemented immediately and violently will always succeed better than a perfect plan.”

“All ages have said and repeated that one should strive to know one's self. This is a strange demand which no one up to now has measured up to and, strictly considered, no one should. With all their study and effort, people are directed to what is outside, to the world about them, and they are kept busy coming to know this and to master it to the extent that their purposes require. . . . How can you come to know yourself? Never by thinking, always by doing. Try to do your duty, and you'll know right away what you amount to. And what is your duty? Whatever the day calls for.”

“Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.”

“A theory is the more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises is, the more different kinds of things it relates, and the more extended is its area of applicability. Therefore the deep impression which classical thermodynamics made upon me. It is the only physical theory of universal content concerning which I am convinced that within the framework of the applicability of its basic concepts, it will never be overthrown.”

“In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.”

“First... a new theory is attacked as absurd; then it is admitted to be true, but obvious and insignificant; finally it is seen to be so important that its adversaries claim that they themselves discovered it.”
