Ralph Waldo Emerson...For a Friend, and for me

“Every wall is a door.”

“Always do what you are afraid to do.”

“Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.”

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely...”

“Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.”
...............

“This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.”
