Today’s Quote

Finish each day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities have crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day.
You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit
to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

Today’s Quote

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

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life
that no man can sincerely try to help another
without helping himself.

Today’s Quote

When a resolute young fellow
steps up to the great bully
– the world –
and takes him boldly by the beard,
he is often surprised to find
it comes off in his hand,
and that it was only tied on
to scare away the timid adventurers.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

Today’s Quote

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions.
All life is an experiment.
The more experiments you make the better.
What if they are a little coarse,
and you may get your coat soiled or torn?
What if you do fail,
and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice?
Up again,
you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
