"Every man's task [his 'great dream' and..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The cannon will not suffer any other sound to be heard for miles and for years around it.”

“No facts are to me sacred; none are profane; I simply experiment, an endless seeker, with no past at my back.”

“A moment is a concentrated eternity.”

“Don't ask for life to be easy. Ask for it to be worth it.”

“If you choose to lead your life just like everyone else, then what exactly is it that you have to offer?”

“It betrays a poverty of ambition if all you think about is what goods you can buy instead of what good you can do.”

“You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren't paying attention to.”

“There was no freedom in life, and certainly there was none in death.”

“Imagination is a concentrated extract of all the forces of life.”
