Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • The best effort of a fine person is felt after we have left their presence.

  • No change of circumstances can repair a defect of character.

  • Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.

  • A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before.

  • Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.
