Courage
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
From “Circles” (1841)
Always do what you are afraid to do.
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
All quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson →
Is he not a man of complete virtue, who feels no discomposure though men may take no note of him?
Where a man can live, there he can also live well.
The softest thing in the world dashes against and overcomes the hardest.
