"Such is the active power of good..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“I read the other day some verses written by an eminent painter which were original and not conventional.”

“Indeed the river is a perpetual gala, and boasts each month a new ornament.”

“Let us even bid our dearest friends farewell, and defy them, saying, "Who are you? Unhand me: I will be dependent no more." Ah! seest thou not, O brother, that thus we part only to meet again on a higher platform, and only be more each other's, because we are more our own?”

“You don't need to be a rocket scientist. Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with 130 IQ.”

“Why is it that all those who have become eminent in philosophy, politics, poetry, or the arts are clearly of an atrabilious temperament and some of them to such an extent as to be affected by diseases caused by black bile?”

“One thing a man must have: either a naturally light disposition or a disposition lightened by art and knowledge.”

“You've done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.”

“Let your life yield a sweet, winsome melody that this old world needs so desperately. Yes you can if you will.”

“You're as young as you feel. As young as you want to be. There's an old saying I heard from a friend of mine. People ask him, "Why do you look so good at your age?" He'll say, "Because I never let the old man in." And there's truth to that. It's in your mind, how far you let him come in.”
