Additional quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed, but our power to do so is increased.

Life is a perpetual instruction in cause and effect.

Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self. There is something which you can do better than another. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Do the things at which you are great, not what you were never made for.
