"We say that every man is entitled..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it, else it is none.”

“Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. The man who knows how will always have a job. The man who also knows why will always be his boss. As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.”

“It was high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, 'always do what you are afraid to do.'”

“Look not at the face, young girl, look at the heart. The heart of a handsome young man is often deformed. There are hearts in which love does not keep. Young girl, the pine is not beautiful; it is not beautiful like the poplar, but it keeps its foliage in winter.”

“We sometimes condemn the present, by praising the past; and show our contempt of what is now, by our esteem for what is no more.”

“Finding lack in others is not the path to liking what you see in yourself.”

“Blow, blow, thou winter wind, Thou art not so unkind As mans ingratitude Thy tooth is not so keen, Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude. Heigh-ho sing, heigh-ho unto the green holly Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly. Then heigh-ho the holly This life is most jolly. Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky, That dost not bite so nigh As benefits forgot Though thou the waters warp, Thy sting is not so sharp As friend rememberd not.”

“A man’s best friend is a good wife.”

“True friends are two people who are comfortable sharing silence together.”
