"Sometimes we receive the power to say..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The love of novels is the preference of sentiment to the senses.”

“If we follow the truth, it will bring us out safe at last.”

“Life wastes itself whilst we are preparing to live.”

“Recollections of the past and visions of the present come to bear me company; the meanest man to whom I have ever given alms appears, to add his mite of peace and comfort to my stock; and whenever the fire within me shall grow cold, to light my path upon this earth no more, I pray that it may be at such an hour as this, and when I love the world as well as I do now.”

“One's only real life is the life one never leads.”

“If you're bored with life - you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things - you don't have enough goals.”

“The time has come to accept in our hearts and minds that with freedom comes responsibility.”

“All stress comes from resisting what is.”

“Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal.”
