More Quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we made today.
There is only one time that is important—now! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power.
What you are is what you have been. What you will be is what you do now.
Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you won't do anything with it.
Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.
