HIGHWAY TO GREATNESS: THE ART OF SOLITUDE

“Nowhere can a man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.” Marcus Aurelius

     The world is full of noise and distractions. If one is not careful, one can get completely drowned in the noise or swept away by its abundance. Some people, unfortunately, are already getting drowned, and they don’t even appear bothered. They see nothing wrong with their state; they’ve not yet recognized the noise as noise. They see it as something entirely different—as something good and desirable. They label it “civilization” “sociability” “blending” and so forth. Great souls, on the other hand, look at the matter differently. They, too, are friends of civilization and of technological advancement, but they are careful not to get drowned. They love to interact with people, but they wouldn’t let such interactions get in the way of their personal growth. They have simply discovered the power of solitude in a world of turbulence and trivialities.

QUOTES THAT PIERCE THE HEART

Some time ago, Ralph Emerson said, " “Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.” That statement itself struck me like the blast of a trumpet, and it still strikes me all the same. I decided that, against all odds, I'll make an effort to document every single word, sentence, or speech that both fascinates and moves me. After about four years, I've been able to arrive at hundreds of quotes. Permit me to share few of those quotes, by Ralph Emerson himself.
