"The beautiful is never plentiful...." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Why needs a man be rich? Why must he have horses, fine garments, handsome apartments, access to public houses, and places of amusement? Only for want of thought.”

“Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.”

“There is no event greater in life than the appearance of new persons about our hearth, except it be the progress of the characterwhich draws them.”

“Have you not seen that in our daysOf any whose story, song or artDelights us, our sincerest praiseMeans, when all's said, 'You break my heart?”

“My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun”

“It's the beauty within us that makes it possible for us to recognize the beauty around us. The question is not what you look at but what you see.”

“We only need so much to survive, but this world we live in tells us we need more stuff to be happy. We're inundated with our televisions, the Internet and advertising that says in order to be happy you have to have these things. When you say, 'Gimme, gimme, gimme,' you will always be in short supply.”

“You often say, "I would give, but only to the deserving." The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture. They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.”

“If you want a fulfilled life, stop thinking about wealthy people and what they have and you don't. Stop thinking from a place of scarcity.”
