I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is said that the world is in a state of bankruptcy, that the world owes the world more than the world can pay.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it, else it is none.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are other measures of self-respect for a man, than the number of clean shirts he puts on every day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force - that thoughts rule the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Manners require time, and nothing is more vulgar than haste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
Marcus Aurelius
The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival.
Aristotle
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
John Wooden
Prevention is better than cure.
Desiderius Erasmus
A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.
Henry David Thoreau
Rather be dead than cool.
Kurt Cobain
A man begins cutting his wisdom teeth the first time he bites off more than he can chew.
Herb Caen
I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.
Henry David Thoreau
Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.
Henry David Thoreau
A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
Nelson Mandela
I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.
Henry David Thoreau
Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?
Henry David Thoreau
It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are... than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise.
Henry David Thoreau
