Emerson Quotes
3
A man is usually more careful of his money than
he is of his principles.
When it comes to money, people tend to set aside
their morals and values. Instead of doing what is
morally right, one might not abide by one of
their standards when it comes to making
money. Donald Trump is a great example of one who
is more worried about his dollar value than his
moral standards.
4
He thought it happier to be dead, to die for
beauty, than live for bread.

• This quotes explains the importance of beauty
  over life in the eyes of certain people.
• Anna Nicole Smith or Dr. Atkins hold true to
  this statement. Anna was more or so worried
  about what she looked like. Dr. Atkins even died
  from his own diet.

Beauty without expression is boring.
Even the most beautiful person in the nation
would not hold any interest if he or she did not
have a good personality. The ex-Miss America was
very beautiful indeed. She definitely was not
boring because her vivacious personality got her
kicked out of the Trump Tower.
6
Nothing is fair or good alone.
It is more efficient to do things with another
person rather than by yourself. Jennifer Aniston
is twice as popular now that she is with Vince
Vaughn, who is just as well known as herself.
7
America is another name for opportunity.
America is a great opportunity to start a new
life and be successful. In the 1900s immigration
was very chaotic for America. Germans, Irish,
Scottish, and other foreigners came to America
for a new chance to have a successful career.
8
Commit a crime, and the earth is made of glass.
Once you have committed a crime it is stuck on
your permanent record, and you have to be careful
of everything you do proceeding your crime. Any
criminal that has been released from prison will
have to be careful in all their other decisions
in life.
9
Every artist was first an amateur.
Every professional was once just an aspiring
athlete, singer, or etc. Michael Jordan started
out playing basketball as a young kid. He was any
other student on the high school basketball team.
10
Adopt the pace of nature her secret is
patience.
This quote means that everyone should learn to be
more patient. Mrs. Kasper is a very patient
person.
11
Genius always finds itself a century too early.
Geniuses at the time are mistaken for
antagonists. Albert Einstein was considered
mentally retarded during his time period.
12
It is not length of life, but depth of life.
Your life is not measure by how many days you
have seen but by how much you have impacted the
people around you. No matter how old Oprah lives
till, she will forever be remember because of her
generous efforts to help others.
13
Thoreau Quotes
14
Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind
it.
Anyone can make a rule or law and there will be
many people stupid enough to follow it.
15
As if you could kill time without injuring
eternity.
Everything you do or dont do will affect your
future. If you kill someone the repercussions of
that action will forever change the course of the
future.
16
Do not hire a man who does your work for money,
but him who does it for love of it.
Dont hire someone who does not love their job
and what they do. If they love it, they will make
sure to do it right. But if they do not love it
and are just doing it for money they will not do
as good a job.
17
Every man is the builder of a temple called his
body.
People should respect and take care of their
bodies. People that do drugs or are anorexic are
not taking care of their bodies.
18
I stand in awe of my body.
Everyone should be happy with themselves and not
hate the way they look. We should love the bodies
that we have basically given ourselves.
19
If you would convince a man that he does wrong,
do right. But do notcare to convince him. Men
will believe what they see. Let them see.
Lead by example for others to see. Instead of
convincing them through words, convince them
through your actions.
20
In wildness is the preservation of the world.
The untouched, pureness of the wild is the
preservation of the world in its natural state.
21
It is never too late to give up your prejudices.
It is never too late to realize that you are
wrong.
22
Men have become the tools of their tools.
We have come to the point where our technology is
smarter than us and does our work faster than us.
Now all we have to do is repair them and make new
tools.
23
My friend is one... who take me for what I am.
Real friends should not be judgmental and should
accept you for who you are.
