"If you act, you show character; if..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“As much wisdom may be expended on a private economy as on an empire, and as much wisdom may be drawn from it.”

“The condition which high friendship demands is ability to do without it.”

“An artist spends himself like the crayon in his hand, till he is all gone.”

“Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself.”

“No soul of high estate can take pleasure in slander. It betrays a weakness.”

“People can't see what's in your heart - they can only see what you do.”

“You'll never find out what you can do, until you do all you can to find out”

“What we need to know about loving is no great mystery. We all know what constitutes loving behavior; we need but act upon it, not continually question it. Over-analysis often confuses the issue and in the end brings us no closer to insight. We sometimes become too busy classifying, separating, and examining, to remember that love is easy. It's we who make it complicated.”

“Go and do the things you can't. That is how you get to do them.”
