Be not the slave of your own past - plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with new self-respect, with new power, and with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
About This Quote

When you are no longer the slave of your own past, you can plunge into the sublime seas of your future. You can swim far into your dreams, to places where no one has yet gone before. You can then come back with new self-respect and a new power that will explain and overlook the old.
