"There is a time when a man..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Let a man attain the highest and broadest culture that any American has possessed, then let him die by sea-storm, railroad collision, or other accident, and all America will acquiesce that the best thing has happened to him; that, after the education has gone far, such is the expensiveness of America, that the best use to put a fine person to is to drown him to save his board.”

“My hours are peaceful centuries.”

“The torpid artist seeks inspiration at any cost, by virtue or by vice, by friend or by fiend, by prayer or by wine.”

“Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.”

“See simplicity in the complicated. Achieve greatness in little things”

“No wise man ever thought that a traitor should be trusted.”

“Happiness is a habit—cultivate it.”

“A lot of times, people make other people responsible for their joy: 'You're not making me happy, you're not doing this, you're not doing that.'”

“Live every day with an attitude of gratitude.”
