Happy Monday! Hope everyone enjoyed my Before Wedding photos and I hope you enjoy this week's Motivational Monday! Here are a few quotes from the great Ralph Waldo Emerson!
“Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.”

Every fact is related on one side to sensation, and, on the other, to morals.

Every known fact in natural science was divined by the presentiment of somebody, before it was actually verified. Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons..."
"...Great geniuses have the shortest biographies. Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events. Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force - that thoughts rule the world. Great men or men of great gifts you shall easily find, but symmetrical men never..."
