"It seems to be a rule of..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The only method to possess a buddy is always to be one.”

“We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.”

“In the right hands, literature is not resorted to as a consolation, and by the broken and decayed, but as a decalogue.”

“Silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way.”

“Character is a quality that embodies many important traits, such as integrity, courage, perseverance, confidence and wisdom. Unlike your fingerprints that you are born with and can't change, character is something that you create within yourself and must take responsibility for changing”

“I sit and talk to kids all day, because I feel like they carry the most wisdom.”

“... the random talk of people who have no chance of immortality and thus can speak their minds out has a setting, often, of lights, streets, houses, human beings, beautiful or grotesque, which will weave itself into the moment for ever.”

“Astonishing things can be done with the human memory if you will devote it faithfully to one particular line of business.”

“If we remembered everything, we should on most occasions be as ill off as if we remembered nothing. It would take us as long to recall a space of time as it took the original time to elapse, and we should never get ahead with our thinking. All recollected times undergo, accordingly, what M. Ribot calls foreshortening; and this foreshortening is due to the omission of an enormous number of facts which filled them.”
