"The lover is made happier by his..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“It makes a great difference in the force of a sentence, whether a man be behind it or no.”

“I wish to speak with all respect of persons, but sometimes I must pinch myself to keep awake, and preserve the due decorum. They melt so fast into each other, that they are like grass and trees, and it needs an effort to treat them as individuals.”

“The young man reveres men of genius, because, to speak truly, they are more himself than he is.”

“All mankind love a lover.”

“As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love - even the most simple action.”

“The practice of love can be expressed in one sentence: 'Do not harm others.'”

“Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.”

“The most precious things in life are not those you get for money.”

“Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me. The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose. Henceforth, I ask not good fortune, I myself am good fortune. Henceforth, I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing.”
