"The man of genius inspires us with..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“All promise outruns performance.”

“Things are pretty, graceful, rich, elegant, handsome, but, until they speak to the imagination, not yet beautiful.”

“We are by nature observers, and thereby learners. That is our permanent state.”

“Genius is intellect constructive.”

“Let the minor genius go his light way and enjoy his life - the great nature cannot so live, he is never really in holiday mood, even though he often plucks flowers by the wayside and ties them into knots and garlands like little children and lays out on a sunny morning.”

“Nor sequent centuries could hitOrbit and sum of Shakespeare's wit.”

“The air is full of ideas. They are knocking you in the head all the time. You only have to know what you want, then forget it, and go about your business. Suddenly, the idea will come through. It was there all the time.”

“A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.”

“If you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? Carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary.”
