Do you like famous phrases and quotes? If you´ve been reading this blog for a while, you know that I do like them; I often include some in my articles, though I try not to overdo it.

Today, as I started my computer, Google showed me a familiar quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson :

what lies within us.

Beautiful, isn´t it? I looked up more quotes from the same author, and found loads; here´s my selection.

the universe conspires to make it happen.

And one that I found surprising:

Make your own Bible.
Select and collect all the words and sentences
that in all your readings have been to you
like the blast of a trumpet.
