"Make the most of yourself, for that..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Out of sleeping a waking, Out of waking a sleep.”

“There is no event greater in life than the appearance of new persons about our hearth, except it be the progress of the characterwhich draws them.”

“Let the bird sing without deciphering the song.”

“Eventually, I sickened of people, myself included, who didn't think enough of themselves to make something of themselves- people who did only what they had to and never what they could have done. I learned from them the infected loneliness that comes at the end of every misspent day. I knew I could do better.”

“Never has a man who has bent himself been able to make others straight.”

“Everything changes when you change.”

“Leaders should get out of their comfort zone but stay in their strength zone. When their work lies within their natural gifting and strengths, leaders experience the greatest return in productivity and contentment. Life is too short to live in the comfort zone, where growing and accomplishing and achieving your potential takes a back seat. I suggest you refocus if the comfort zone is your leadership priority.”

“In praising or loving a child, we love and praise not that which is, but that which we hope for.”

“When we force a boy to be a mediocrity in a dozen subjects we destroy his standards, perhaps for life.”
