Some of his quotes are awesome. 

I personally like this one -

For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.


  1. Only ONE path is true. Rest is noise
  2. God is beauty, rest is Ugly

@Loreena Yes, I agree, and that was truly an awesome quote! (Made me laugh a bit. I'll add it to my writing "repertoire". :)

Thanks, Loreena! :D

I find the vocabulary and ideas very hard to understand. This is the first book I am reading from Emerson. Thank you for that link to the video. It is really helpful??!

@Anirban657 Hah, I totally get you, Anirban! I also found his vocabulary really complex, and I'm glad I was so fortunate to find enough ideas for a 5-idea review! 

And you're most welcome, I'm glad you found it helpful. :)
