Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
But man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Make yourself necessary to the world, and mankind will give you bread, and if not store of it, yet such as shall not take away your property in all men’s possessions, in all men’s affections, in art, in nature, and in hope.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Explore, and explore, and explore. Be neither chided nor flattered out of your position of perpetual inquiry. Neither dogmatise yourself, nor accept another’s dogmatism. Why should you renounce your right to traverse the star-lit deserts of truth, for the premature comforts of an acre, house, and barn? Truth also has its roof, and bed, and board.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
I do not wish more external goods, — neither possessions, nor honors, nor powers, nor persons. The gain is apparent; the tax is certain.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
I no longer wish to meet a good I do not earn, for example, to find a pot of buried gold, knowing that it brings with it new burdens.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the good of nature is the soul’s, and may be had, if paid for in nature’s lawful coin, that is, by labor which the heart and the head allow.

And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace.

Life is a train of moods like a string of beads; and as we pass through them they prove to be many colored lenses, which paint the world their aint the world their own hue, and each shows us only what lies in its own focus.

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

Finish each day before you begin the next, and interpose a solid wall of sleep between the two. This you cannot do without temperance.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man builds a fine house; and now he has a master, and a task for life: he is to furnish, watch, show it, and keep it in repair, the rest of his days.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
We ask for long life, but ’tis deep life, or noble moments that signify. Let the measure of time be spiritual, not mechanical
