Ralph Waldo Emerson

My metaphysics are to the end of use. I wish to know the laws of this wonderful power, that I may domesticate it. from https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/emerson/4957107.0012.001/1:6.1?rgn=div2;view=fulltext

Write it on your heart

that every day is the best day in the year.

He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day

who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.

You have done what you could.

Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.

Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;

begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit

to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,

with its hopes and invitations,

to waste a moment on the yesterdays.
