"The day is always his, who works..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Our books approach very slowly the things we most wish to know.”

“We are always getting ready to live but never living.”

“Nature is good, but intellect is better, as the law-giver is before the law-receiver.”

“We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.”

“Nothing is more dangerous than discontinued labor; it is habit lost. A habit easy to abandon, difficult to resume.”

“I think a person who takes a job in order to live - that is to say, for the money - has turned himself into a slave. Work begins when you don't like what you're doing. There's a wise saying: make your hobby your source of income. Then there's no such thing as work, and there's no such thing as getting tired. That's been my own experience. I did just what I wanted to do. It takes a little courage at first, because who the hell wants you to do just what you want to do; they've all got lots of plans for you. But you can make it happen.”

“Everybody has a purpose.”

“Do what gives you bliss.”

“And there is no trade or employment but the young man following it may become a hero.”
