"Give me insight into today and you..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Law of Contrariness: Our chief want in life is somebody who shall make us do what we can. Having found them, we shall then hate them for it.”

“Life is a boundless privilege, and when you pay for your ticket, and get into the car, you have no guess what good company you shall find there.”

“A nation never falls but by suicide.”

“The humans live in time but our Enemy destines them to eternity. He therefore, I believe, wants them to attend chiefly to two things, to eternity itself, and to that point of time which they call the Present. For the Present is the point at which time touches eternity. Of the present moment, and of it only, humans have an experience analogous to the experience which our Enemy has of reality of whole; in it alone freedom and actuality are offered to them.”

“Become friendly with the present moment, because if you do not become friendly with the present moment you cannot become friendly with life.”

“There is nothing for you to go back and live over, or fix, or feel regret about now. Every part of your life has unfolded just right.”

“Deep insight will always, like Nature, ultimate its thought in a thing.”

“A stander-by may sometimes, perhaps, see more of the game than he that plays it.”

“Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack.”
