Most people, who have quit smoking, have had at least one unsuccessful try in the past. It is not important how many times you try to quit. The only important thing is, that eventually you stay quit

More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Contemporary American psychiatrist It is a happy talent to know how to play.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The greatest homage to truth is to use it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents. It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his work made manifest by cowards.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The highest compact we can make with our fellow is - Let there be truth between us two forevermore.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The student is to read history actively and not passively to esteem his own life the text, and books the commentary. Thus compelled, the muse of history will utter oracles as never to those who do not respect themselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For the world was built in order around the atoms march in tune Rhyme the pipe, and Time the warder, The sun obeys them, and the moon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Culture is one thing and varnish is another.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is a frugal mother, and never gives without measure. When she has work to do, she qualifies men for that and sends them equipped.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Shakespeare will never be made by the study of Shakespeare.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The crowning fortune of a man is to be born to some pursuit which finds him employment and happiness, whether it be to make baskets, or broadswords, or canals, or statues, or songs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thus grows up fashion, an equivocal semblance, the most puissant, the most fantastic and frivolous, the most feared and followed, and which morals and violence assault in vain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
[D]ivine Providence... keeps the universe open in every direction to the soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The terrible tabulation of the French statists brings every piece of whim and humor to be reducible also to exact numerical ratios. If one man in twenty thousand, or in thirty thousand, eats shoes, or marries his grandmother, then, in every twenty thousand, or thirty thousand, is found one man who eats shoes, or marries his grandmother.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wise man, the true friend, the finished character, we seek everywhere, and only find in fragments.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fear is an instructor of great sagacity, and the herald of all revolutions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no architect Can build as the Muse can She is skilful to select Materials for her plan.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought is the seed of action but action is as much its second form as thought is its first. It rises in thought, to the end that it may be uttered and acted. Always in proportion to the depth of its sense does it knock importunately at the gates of the soul, to be spoken, to be done.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is reckless of the individual. When she has points to carry, she carries them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
