Motivational Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The Artist always has the masters in his eyes.”

“The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.”

“Every word was once a poem.”

“So nigh is grandeur to our dust,”

“Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.”

“Every man's condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put. He acts it as life, before he apprehends it as truth. In like manner, nature is already, in its forms and tendencies, describing its own design. Let us interrogate the great apparition, that shines so peacefully around us. Let us inquire, to what end is nature?”

“Do not dilute the truth of your potential. We often convince ourselves that we cannot change, that we cannot overcome the circumstances of our lives. That is simply not true. You have been blessed with immeasurable power to make positive changes in your life. But you can't just wish it, you can't just hope it, you can't just want it... you have to LIVE it, BE it, DO it.”

“There is only one way you can fail and that’s if you believe you don’t deserve to win.”

“Don’t forget to collect the memories on your journey. Remember, if you only focus on your destination, you will miss out on the benefits of the journey.”

“There are two kinds of leaders, cowboys and Shepherds. Cowboys drive and Shepherds lead.”

“It's better to do something with quality, no matter how long it takes you rather than do something mediocre, with constant quantity.”
