Ralph Waldo Emerson

“A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud.”

“He is my friend in whose presence I cannot be silly enough.”

“Beauty is the form under which the intellect prefers to study the world.”

“Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.”

“The years teach much which the days never know.”

“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.”

“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate.”

“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”
