"What is life but the angle of..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The man is only half himself, the other half is his expression.”

“Nature has made up her mind that what cannot defend itself shall not be defended.”

“Every reform was once a private opinion.”

“The conscience can be a strong guide in life if we allow it.”

“The spectacle of Nature is always new, for she is always renewing the spectators. Life is her most exquisite invention; and death is her expert contrivance to get plenty of life.”

“Life is a lot more fun if you treat its challenges in creative ways.”

“I didn't fear old age. I was just becoming increasingly aware of the fact that the only people who said old age was beautiful were usually twenty-three years old.”

“The past is as powerless to darken the present moment as is a shadow to reach up and drag down the form that casts it.”

“They say that instead of cursing the darkness, one should light a candle. Nothing is mentioned, though, about cursing a lack of candles.”
