Ralph W. Emerson

“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.”

“Self-trust is the first secret of success.”

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

“Thought is the seed of action.”

“Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.”

“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.”

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

“Be not the slave of your past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.”
