Today is memorial day and I have a lot to do, so I’m just going to post some of my favorite quotes today. I have a huge quote archive that can be visited from the navigation bar on the side. Here are some samples of the ideas that help form my ideas.

“Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson (Self-Reliance and Other Essays)

“The key to every man is his thought. Sturdy and defying though he look, he has a helm which he obeys, which is the idea after which all his facts are classified. He can only be reformed by showing him a new idea which commands his own.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

“If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. But do not care to convince him. Men will believe what they see.”
— Henry David Thoreau (Walden, or Life in the Woods)

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.

“However mean your life is, meet it and live it.”
— Henry David Thoreau

“Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him. And then choose that way with all his strength.”

“Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it.”

“Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness.
Listen to it carefully.”

“You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.”

“Be not afraid of growing slowly. Be afraid only of standing still.”

Thats it for now. I hope you enjoyed! Have a Happy Memorial Day!
