Emerson

Some favorite quotes of mine from Ralph Waldo Emerson, an outstanding American thinker in the nineteenth century.

Ø      The foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds

Ø      To be great is to be misunderstood

Ø      To believe your own thought, to believe what is true for you in your private heart, is true for all men, that is genius

Ø      Truth is handsomer than the affection of love

Ø      You think me a child of my circumstance, I make my circumstance, let any thought or motive of mine be different from that they are, the difference will transform my condition and economy.
