Ralph Waldo Emerson
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Learn from it... tomorrow is a new day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is said, no man can write but one book and if a man have a defect, it is apt to leave its impression on all his performances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As sunbeams stream through liberal space And nothing jostle or displace, So waved the pine-tree through my thought And fanned the dreams it never brought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
That which dominates our imagination and our thoughts will determine our life and character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
