Lived in Massachusetts all my life. Emerson, Thoreau and A. Bronson Alcott are the local hero's our progressive outlook comes from.
other Emerson quotes:
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.
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.
All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.
Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.
Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.
Life is a journey, not a destination.
Be silly. Be honest. Be kind.
The only way to have a friend is to be one.
A great man is always willing to be little.
Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
You become what you think about all day long.
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77075061 Do the Irish who monopolized Boston think that way? It means something else when quoted by a different mouth. Yes I would say the Irish became a little less oriented towards FATE and DESTINY by being exposed to the philosophy of Emerson. That's why they went and married Italians and Polish Catholics and learned to scream and yell for almost no reason.
