More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

People have stars, but they aren't the same. for travelers, the stars are guides. for other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. and for still others, for scholars, they're problems... but all those stars are silent stars. you, though, you'll have stars like nobody else... since i'll be laughing on one of them, for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. you'll have stars that can laugh!... and it'll be as if i had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh.

We look up and we hope the stars look down, we pray that there may be stars for us to follow, stars moving across the heavens and leading us to our destiny, but it's only our vanity. we look at the galaxy and fall in love, but the universe cares less about us than we do about it, and the stars stay in their courses however much we may wish upon them to do otherwise. it's true that if you watch the sky-wheel turn for a while you'll see a meteor fall, flame and die. that's not a star worth following; it's just an unlucky rock. our fates are here on earth. there are no guiding stars.

Nine requisites for contented living: health enough to make work a pleasure. wealth enough to support your needs. strength to battle with difficulties and overcome them. grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. charity enough to see some good in your neighbor. love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others. faith enough to make real the things of god. hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.

You couldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution - weren't created at the beginning of time. they were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode. so, forget jesus. the stars died so that you could be here today.
Jesus Stars Oxygen
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; it rains, and the wind is never weary; the vine still clings to the mouldering wall, but at every gust the dead leaves fall, and the day is dark and dreary. my life is cold, and dark, and dreary; it rains, and the wind is never weary; my thoughts still cling to the mouldering past, but the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, and the days are dark and dreary. be still, sad heart! and cease repining; behind the clouds is the sun still shining; thy fate is the common fate of all, into each life some rain must fall, some days must be dark and dreary.
Hope Wall Fall
If i marry: he must be so tall that when he is on his knees, as one has said he reaches all the way to heaven. his shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. his lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no, and tender enough to kiss. love must be so deep that it takes its stand in christ and so wide that it takes the whole lost world in. he must be active enough to save souls. he must be big enough to be gentle and great enough to be thoughtful. his arms must be strong enough to carry a little child.

I'm not the only one; most people's mothers are the most influential person in their life. but my mother survived the camps, and she was very strong. she made me strong, but she wanted me to be strong. that's more important.
Inspiring Mother Strong
I like to come to the set with very strong ideas and strong opinions about how to do things. and i like also dealing with somebody who's like that.
Strong Ideas Opinion
I had an upbringing in which i was allowed to be free and use my mind. my parents only helped me to be myself. it was only in my teenage years that i met people who made me start having doubts about who i was. they said you shouldn't be confident, you shouldn't be strong. it is only when you meet those other people that you lose confidence.
Strong Teenage Years
Work on your stony qualities and become resplendent like the ruby. practice self-denial and accept difficulty. always see infinite life in letting the self die. your stoniness will decrease; your ruby nature will grow. the signs of self-existence will leave your body, and ecstasy will take you over.
