"Some natures are too good to be..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Science finds it methods.”

“Ne te quaesiveris extra." (Do not seek for things outside of yourself)”

“Things are in the saddle. And ride mankind.”

“It is no easy task to be good.”

“Be not simply good - be good for something.”

“There is no difference between knowledge and temperance; for he who knows what is good and embraces it, who knows what is bad and avoids it, is learned and temperate.”

“But most of all, what really attracted me to her was her manner. She laughed a lot, and it's easy to fall for someone who can find humor in any situation. She was also intelligent, well read, and well spoken, willing to listen and confident in her beliefs. And most of all, she was warm.”

“What defines us is how well we rise after we fall.”

“Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of - for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish it, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.”
