"The effects of opposition are wonderful. There..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“We must be our own before we can be another's.”

“Build therefore your own world.”

“Life is our dictionary.”

“You have to be able to swim in backlash.”

“Philosophy easily triumphs over past and future ills; but present ills triumph over philosophy.”

“Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when lifeseems most challenging. Negativism to the pain and ferocity of life is negativism to life. We are not there until we can say 'yea' to it all.”

“Defeat is simply a signal to press onward.”

“It's not going to be easy, it's going to be worth it.”

“Every time you win, it diminishes the fear a little bit. You never really cancel the fear of losing; you keep challenging it.”
