"One can never truly savor success until..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“And what avails it that science has come to treat space and time as simply forms of thought, and the material world as hypothetical, and withal our pretension of property and even of self-hood are fading with the rest, if, at last, even our thoughts are not finalities, but the incessant flowing and ascension reach these also, and each thought which yesterday was a finality, to-day is yielding to a larger generalization?”

“Extremes meet, and there is no better example than the naughtiness of humility.”

“Coal lay in ledges under the ground since the Flood, until a laborer with pick and windlass brings it to the surface. We may well call it black diamonds. Every basket is power and civilization. For coal is a portable climate.”

“It is not enough to be exceptionally mad, licentious and fanatical in order to win a great reputation; it is still necessary to arrive on the scene at the right time.”

“Nothing worth having comes easy.”

“Big results require big ambitions.”

“If you have an enemy, then learn and know your enemy, don't just be mad at him or her.”

“Is it not when the fall is the lowest that charity ought to be the greatest?”

“The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.”
