One of my favorite sources for quotes is Ralph Waldo Emerson.  He had some great ideas and opinions that are still applicable today.  I read this in an email that I received this morning, it so impressed me that I stopped reading my email to write this blog!

"Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. The man who knows how will always have a job. The man who also knows why will always be his boss. As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble." 

This is the essence of life and success.  The person that grasps the concepts that he is discussing really will make things happen in their own lives and be happy and successful!  Have a great Monday!

Tony, I guess the most important thing is to just try. Emerson wrote a great quote here. I don't know why people don't just flock to me! Why do I have to earn it???? :)

Toni and Darcy,

Thank you for this fabulous quote.  I love the concept of principles rather than methods, when you know who you are and what you stand for, it becomes a black and white world.  A

Kristine, Very True!  Thanks for stopping by!

Larry, Thank you, it was a little deep, but I thought appropriate.

Kathy, You mean people and success don't just come without any effort on my part!  Thank you!

Alexandra, I do believe that if you adhere to correct principles, the methods will work themselves out!

Erika, Glad that I found it then!

Gary, Thank you!

Tom, Very true, Emerson was very much ahead of most of us!  It is amazing how many of his writings are as much or even more applicable than they were when he wrote them.  Thank you!

Kwee, Thank you!

Emerson said a lot in just a few short sentences. Wish our politicians were like that!
