Ralph Waldo Emerson

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

Life is a journey, not a destination.

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

It is not the length of life, but the depth of life.

For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

You become what you think about all day long.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing.
