"Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, from essay "Self-Reliance."

"Don't plant your bad days; They turn into weeks."
- Tom Waits
This one constantly gets mistaken as "Don't plant your days, they turn into weeds" but after looking at the Tom Waits Library and the explanation of the intro to "More Than Rain" during a concert/movie Big Time, this quote makes more sense.

"Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (I can't find the published source, but the quote is attributed to Emerson.)
