More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. these persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. beautiful people do not just happen. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.

What are works of art for? to educate, to be standards. to produce is of little use unless what we produce is known, is widely known, the wider known the better, for it is by being known that it works, it influences, it does its duty, it does good. we must try, then, to be known, aim at it, take means to it. and this without puffing in the process or pride in the success.

Mean Attachment Next Day

Disappointment Loneliness Flower
What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'this life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ... would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'you are a god and never have i heard anything more divine.
Happiness Loneliness Sadness
