Ralph Waldo Emerson Direction Quotations

Nothing is beneath you if it is in the direction of your life; nothing is great or desirable if it is off from that

Every individual man has a bias which he must obey, and...it is only as he feels and obeys this that he rightly develops and attains his legitimate power in the world. It is his magnetic needle, which points always in one direction to his proper path.... He is never happy nor strong until he finds it, keeps it.

Each man has his own vocation; his talent is his call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him.

The power of a man increases steadily by continuance in one direction. He becomes acquainted with the resistances and with his own tools; increases his skill and strength and learns the favorable moments and favorable accidents.

The power of a man increases steadily by continuing in one direction.
