"It is never too late to do..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Good criticism is very rare and always precious.”

“There are eyes, to be sure, that give no more admission into the man than blueberries.”

“Self-sacrifice is the real miracle out of which all the reported miracles grow. Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it. Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect. The louder he talked of his honesty, the quicker we counted the silverware.”

“The community which has neither poverty nor riches will always have the noblest principles.”

“When goodness is lost, it is replaced by morality.”

“If a strong man has not in him the lift toward lofty things, his strength makes him only a curse to himself and his neighbor.”

“Success is like a ladder and no one has ever climbed a ladder with their hands in their pockets.”

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiation - creation - there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans.”

“If anyone on the verge of action should judge himself according to the outcome, he would never begin.”
