Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. No face which we can give to a matter will stead us so well as the truth. This alone wears well..... Say what you have to say, not what you ought. Any truth is better than make-believe. Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. --Henry David Thoreau-- I will not live out of me. I will not see with other's eyes. My good is good, my evil ill. I would be free; I cannot be, while I take things as others please to rate them. I dare attempt to lay out my own road, that which myself delights in shall be good. That which I do not want; indifferent. That which I hate is bad, that's flat. Henceforth, please God, forever I forgo the yoke of men's opinions. I will be lighthearted as a bird and live with God. --Ralph Waldo Emerson-- A common man through ignorance considers his own religion to be the best and makes much clamor. But when his mind is illumined by knowledge, all such quarreling disappears. --Ramakrishna-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
