"Who heeds the waste abyss of possibility?..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The masses have no habit of self-reliance or original action.”

“The compensations of calamity are made apparent to the understanding also, after long intervals of time. A fever, a mutilation, a cruel disappointment, a loss of wealth, a loss of friends, seems at the moment unpaid loss, and unpayable. But the sure years reveal the deep remedial force that underlies all facts.”

“The end of being is to know; and if you say, the end of knowledge is action,-why, yes, but the end of that action again, is knowledge.”

“When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life. It means fear is no longer a dominant factor in what you do and no longer prevents you from taking action to initiate change. The Roman philosopher Tacitus rightly observed that 'the desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise.' If uncertainty is unacceptable to you, it turns into fear. If it is perfectly acceptable, it turns into aliveness, alertness and creativity.”

“Every new day begins with possibilities.”

“Present-moment awareness creates a gap not only in the stream of mind but also in the past-future continuum. Nothing truly new and creative can come into this world except through that gap, that clear space of infinite possibility.”

“The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen.”

“I don't pretend to know anything about art. I make pictures for entertainment, and then the professors tell me what they mean.”

“All the world is good and agreeable in your eyes.”
