"God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best, but what he has done otherwise shall give him no peace. It is a deliverance which does not deliver. In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, from ‘Self-Reliance’, 1841.Tagged as: inspirational. Ralph Waldo Emerson. quote.
