"There is also something excellent in every..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it, else it is none.”

“Every sweet has its sour; every evil its good.”

“But when you have chosen your part, abide by it, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world.”

“Moderation cannot have the credit of combatiug and subduing ambition, they are never found together. Moderation is the languor and indolence of the soul, as ambition is its activity and ardor.”

“There must be in prudence also some master virtue.”

“He would be the finer gentleman that should leave the world without having tasted of lying or pretence of any sort, or of wantonness or conceit.”

“Look within, for within is the wellspring of virtue, which will not cease flowing, if you cease not from digging.”

“A leader is an average, everyday person who is highly motivated.”

“Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.”
