"Let a stoic open the resources of..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Do your work, but do your thing.”

“Every thought which genius and piety throw into the world alters the world.”

“Men talk as if victory were something fortunate. Work is victory.”

“The other terror that scares us from self-trust is our consistency; a reverence for our past act or word, because the eyes of others have no other data for computing our orbit than our past acts, and we are loath to disappoint them.”

“The truth is I have from the very beginning listened to my instincts. All of my best decisions in life have come because I was attuned to what really felt like the next right move for me.”

“And how do you know when you're doing something right? How do you know that? It feels so. What I know now is that feelings are really your GPS system for life. When you're supposed to do something or not supposed to do something, your emotional guidance system lets you know. The trick is to learn to check your ego at the door and start checking your gut instead.”

“Don't depend on other people as the source of your happiness or for approval.”

“The wise way to benefit humanity is to attend to your own affairs, and thus give other people an opportunity to look after theirs.”

“Do well and you will have no need for ancestors.”
