"Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed,..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“America is another name for opportunity.”

“I must be myself. I cannot break myself any longer for you, or you. If you can love me for what I am, we shall be the happier. If you cannot, I will still seek to seserve that you should.”

“Society has no bribe for me.”

“An individual is as superb as a nation when he has the qualities which make a superb nation.”

“The great leaders in history were great not because of what they owned or earned but because of what they gave their lives to accomplish. They made a difference!”

“Heart is what separates the good from the great.”

“The leader is one who, out of the clutter, brings simplicity... out of discord, harmony... and out of difficulty, opportunity.”

“We fritter away our energy and creativity . . .we get bogged down in the thick of thin things.”

“Our age is very cheap and intelligible. Unroof any house, and you shall find it. The well-being consists in having a sufficiency of coffee and toast, with a daily newspaper; a well glazed parlor, with marbles, mirrors and centre-table; and the excitement of a few parties and a few rides in a year.”
