"The riddle of the age has for..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The domestic man, who loves no music so well as his kitchen clock, and the airs which the logs sing to him as they burn on the hearth, has solaces which others never dream of.”

“Do not follow where the path may lead.”

“Some of your griefs you have cured, And the sharpest you still have survived, But what torments of grief you've endured From evils that never arrived.”

“If all you do is follow the herd, you'll just be stepping in poop all day”

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

“Individuals, like nations, must have suitable broad and natural boundaries, even a considerable neutral ground, between them.”

“For the man who makes everything that leads to happiness, or near to it, to depend upon himself, and not upon other men, on whose good or evil actions his own doings are compelled to hinge,--such a one, I say, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation; this is the man of manly character and of wisdom.”

“My business skills have come from being guided by my inner self - my intuition.”

“A man's social and spiritual discipline must answer to his corporeal. He must lean on a friend who has a hard breast, as he wouldlie on a hard bed. He must drink cold water for his only beverage. So he must not hear sweetened and colored words, but pure and refreshing truths. He must daily bathe in truth cold as spring water, not warmed by the sympathy of friends.”
