A Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Books are for nothing but to inspire — © Ralph Waldo Emerson
Books are for nothing but to inspire
Books are the best of things, well used; abused, among the worst...They are for nothing but to inspire.
Some books inspire one to read, and some inspire one to write; for selfish reasons, I'm always looking for the latter.
There's books that are about places we will never go, and then there's books that inspire us to go.
Books are the best of things if well used; if abused, among the worst. They are good for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book than be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system.
Meeting with people is awesome in every sense of the word. It can inspire you with glee. It can inspire you with happiness. It can inspire you with sadness and melancholy, but also hope.
I come from nothing, and growing up, I really didn't have many people to inspire me, at least no good people to inspire me.
I always tell everybody, if I can inspire one, they can inspire one more, and I can inspire a thousand later.
I want to inspire kids, and yeah, if that helps with expansion teams - in the MLS or anything like that - but my main goal is just to inspire. Try and inspire our youth.
We all want to inspire! As we go on our life's journey, some people inspire us and in turn, we would like to do something to inspire other people.
I want to write some books. Books that have nothing to do with music, just some fiction type of books for a whole different audience of people.
I never wanted my books to be mistaken for poetry or fiction books; I wanted to write reference books. But instead of referring to something, they refer to nothing.
Author Brene Brown - her books inspire me to "dare greatly".
Books and movies inspire me, but I do my best to keep my stories as original as possible.
I find myself in a position where I have a voice that has the potential to influence - I want to use that to inspire confidence in those that have yet to find it, to inspire compassion in those who don't understand, but most importantly, to inspire love in everyone through the experiences and stories that we can all relate to or empathize with.
We are not such fools as to pay for reading inferior books, when we can read superior books for nothing.
I shall be so glad if you will tell me what to read. I have been looking into all the books in the library at Offendene, but there is nothing readable. The leaves all stick together and smell musty. I wish I could write books to amuse myself, as you can! How delightful it must be to write books after one's own taste instead of reading other people's! Home-made books must be so nice.
