"Be an opener of doors..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“It is not what talents or genius a man has, but how he is to his talents, that constitutes friendship and character. The man thatstands by himself, the universe stands by him also.”

“Great men exist that there might be greater men.”

“Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can offer with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation, but of the adopted talent of another, you have only an extemporaneous, half possession.”

“Every day we are offered new means for learning and growing in love.”

“The future promise of any nation can be directly measured by the present prospects of its youth.”

“My hope would be that, as we're moving through the world right now, we're able to get that psychological or emotional peace by seeing very concretely our kids doing better and being more hopeful and having greater opportunities.”

“If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.”

“Knowing what's correct and not doing it, it's the worst cowardice.”

“One person can and does make a difference.”
