"The end of being is to know;..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Each philosopher, each bard, each actor has only done for me, as by a delegate, what one day I can do for myself.”

“Style is only the frame to hold your thoughts. It is like the sash of a window; if heavy, it will obscure the light.”

“The hero is suffered to be himself.”

“Men are paid, not merely for what they know, but more particularly for WHAT THEY DO WITH THAT WHICH THEY KNOW.”

“Conversation with a friend will only bear good fruit of knowledge when both think only of the matter under consideration and forget that they are friends.”

“History never embraces more than a small part of reality”

“He who merely knows right principles is not equal to him who loves them.”

“Don't do what's right to get something. Do the right thing because it's the right thing.”

“Happiness is found in doing, not merely possessing.”
