"I look on that man as happy,..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The shot heard round the world.”

“The law of nature is alternation for evermore. Each electrical state superinduces the opposite.”

“A man's wife has more power over him than the state has.”

“Begin and proceed on a settled conviction that but little is permitted to any man to do or to know, and if he complies with the first grand laws, he shall do well.”

“Focus on the possibilities for success, not on the potential for failure”

“Failure is simply a price we pay to achieve success”

“I have the most wonderful children. I've been very, very blessed.”

“I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It is the ultimate source of success in life.”

“To the mediocre, mediocrity is a form of happiness.”
