More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

"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."
"Books are for nothing but to inspire"
"Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up"
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
"Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air."
