Everything in the universe goes by indirection. There are no straight lines.
Author: Ralph Emerson
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your reactions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Make the most of yourself for that is all there is of you.
Good thoughts are no better than good dreams, unless they be executed.
Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.
Great are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world.
Skill to do comes of doing.
So is cheerfulness, or a good temper, the more it is spent, the more remains.
The only way to have a friend is to be one.
Life is a progress, and not a station.
