More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

"It is not the length of life, but the depth."
"He in whom the love of repose predominates will accept the first creed, the first philosophy, the first political party he meets — most likely his father's. He gets rest, commodity, and reputation; but he shuts the door of truth."
"That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased."
"Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true."
"Love, and you shall be loved."
