More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true."
"It is not the length of life, but the depth."
"Tis the good reader that makes the good book; in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakenly meant for his ear; the profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; the profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart."
"He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses."
"In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine."
