Ralph Waldo Emerson that is…here are a few of his lovely quotes…
“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
“The earth laughs in flowers.” (This is the moment I fell hard for Ralph.)
“Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild air.”
“To be great is to be misunderstood.”
“To know even one life breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
“Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience.”
“What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.”
“Always do what you are afraid to do.”
“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”
“Envy is ignorance, imitation is suicide.” (I Love You, Ralph)
“We become what we think about all day long.” (Yep, proven that one both ways!!)
“For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.”
“The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.”
So tell me Dear Friends, Wisdom is better than silver and gold isn’t it? Why? Because without wisdom, silver and gold are used to our hurt. Wisdom is the key to Success. I’m grateful for those like Ralph that put effort in to understanding the mechanics of a truly successful life. We’ve all benefited. Here’s to Wise Ralph….
Have a Wonderful Weekend!
Love Y’all
