"Patience and fortitude conquer all things...." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Keep the town for occasions, but the habits should be formed in retirement.”

“We fly to beauty as an asylum from the terrors of finite nature.”

“There is no man of Nature's worthIn the circle of the earth.”

“Love is like a flower - you have to let it grow.”

“Don't get discouraged with your skin when it doesn't do what you want it to do... Give it some time. That's the only way to get to know yourself.”

“All good things arrive unto them that wait - and don't die in the meantime.”

“I try to view the challenges in my life not as annoyances, but as confirmations of fortitude.”

“There is a natural firmness in some minds, which cannot be unlocked by trifles, but which, when unlocked, discovers a cabinet of fortitude.”

“The longer I live the more I think of the quality of fortitude... men who fall, pick themselves up and stumble on, fall again, and are trying to get back up when they die.”
