It is the quality of the moment, not the number of days, or events, or of actors, that imports.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe first thing a great person does is make us realize the insignificance of circumstance.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe whole course of things goes to teach us faith. We need only obey. There is guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening we shall hear the right word. . . . Place yourself in the middle of the stream of power and wisdom which flows into you as life, place yourself in the full center of that flood, then you are without effort impelled to truth, to right, and a perfect contentment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
