Ralph Waldo Emerson - Quotes
BOOK: Freedom Calling by Dana Vacca
RALPH WALDO EMERSON Quotes:
“Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.”
“Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.”
“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”
“Be not the slave of your own past - plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with new self-respect, with new power, and with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.”
And I will end with his best quote:.....
“I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.”
