Do you like famous phrases and quotes? If you\u00b4ve 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, as I started my computer, Google showed me a familiar quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/strong> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What lies behind us
and what lies before us
are tiny matters compared to
what lies within us.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Beautiful, isn\u00b4t it? I looked up more quotes from the same author, and found loads; here\u00b4s my selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Photo taken this weekend, on our visit to Northern Ireland with Merche, Nacho and Miguel. Thanks, guys!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

People do not seem to realise
that their opinion of the world
is also a confession of character.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What you do speaks so loudly
that I cannot hear what you say.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Without ambition one starts nothing.
Without work one finishes nothing.
The prize will not be sent to you.
You have to win it.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you make a decision,
the universe conspires to make it happen.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And one that I found surprising:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
