Quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.

Little minds have little worries, big minds have no time for worries.

The sum of wisdom is that time is never lost that is devoted to work.

Who hears me, who understands me, becomes mine, a possession for all time.

Manners require time, and nothing is more vulgar than haste.

We do not yet possess ourselves, and we know at the same time that we are much more.

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
