Back when we were working in the office, I would often look at my bulletin board where I tacked up photos, information and inspirational quotes. One of the quotes is the following from Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), the Boston-born writer, poet and lecturer:

“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 serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” Sage advice to keep my sanity after a stressful day.

Mr. Emerson came to mind again this week when he was featured on an app on my Kindle. I thought I would share some of his other famous quotes to perhaps inspire our readers:

“For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”

“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.”

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

“The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.”

“It is not the length of life, but the depth.”

Hope you enjoyed reading this. Stay safe.
