An Experiment in Making "Fibs" Out of Emerson's Prose
Do
not
be too
timid and
squeamish about your
actions. All life's experiment.
This
time,
like all
times, is a
very good one, if
we but know what to do with it.
Do
not
go where
the path may
lead, go instead where
there is no path and leave a trail.
As
long
as a
man stands in
his own way, it seems
everything else is in his way.
When
eyes
say one
thing and tongue
another, practice
relying on the first language.
Tra
vel
the world
o'er to find
beauty? We carry
it with us or we find it not.
Fin
ish
each day.
Be done with
it. You have done what
you could. Forget blunders quickly.
Encumber not tomorrow's new day with old nonsense.
How
do
you mea-
sure success?
Laugh often and much.
Win respect of intelligent
people, affection of children, and honest critique.
