"Every day, a little sadder, a little..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Do what you know and perception is converted into character.”

“He cumbers himself never about consequences, about interests; he gives an independent, genuine verdict. You must court him: he does not court you. But the man is, as it were, clapped into jail by his consciousness.”

“I admire answers to which no answers can be made.”

“I always felt guilty. My whole life.”

“The emotional state that leads to achievements resembles that of a worshiper or the lover.”

“Where there is reverence there is fear, but there is not reverence everywhere that there is fear, because fear presumably has a wider extension than reverence.”

“But it is a melancholy of mine own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects, and indeed the sundry contemplation of my travels, which, by often rumination, wraps me in the most humorous sadness.”

“Desiring always to be in mourning, he clothed himself with night.”

“Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.”
