Give all to love; Obey thy heart; Friends, kindred, days, Estate, good fame, Plans, credit, and the muse; Nothing refuse.

More from Ralph Waldo Emerson

1844·Boston

Life is a journey, not a destination.

1841

Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.

1841·Concord, Massachusetts

A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.

Shunryu SuzukiShunryu Suzuki·1981

When you do something, you should burn yourself completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself.

Steve JobsSteve Jobs·2005

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don’t settle.

ConfuciusConfucius·493 BC

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
