:QUOTES: The wisdom of Emerson on his birthday...

Ralph Waldo Emerson was born on this day in 1803, so in honor of his birthday, here are three little bits of wisdom credited to him.

Quote #1:
“For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”

Quote #2:
"It is a happy talent to know how to play."

Quote #3:
"Life is a series of surprises.”

READER RESPONSE:
Vote for your favorite quote and I'll create a word art freebie with the 'winning' quote to share with you sometime next week. In the meantime, check out my other word art downloads.

Hi Jill, wow, what a toss up between #3 and #2. I think #3 would be my first choice because it could be used on so many scrapbook pages and great for card fronts.
#1 I need to post on my husband's work desk. LOL. Thanks for sharing and have a happy day.

I think we could all use #1!!! But my absolute favorite is #2. Too many of us so-called "grown-ups" have lost the ability (and even the understanding of what it really means).

Love number 2, but a great lesson in number 1.

I like all of them but for me I think it has to be #3. If you are open to it there are so many surprises waiting to be seen,

#1 is my favorite, but I'd probably use #2 more...
