Featuring Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Emily Dickenson and Robert Frost, the American Thinkers assortment contains 4 different cards - two cards of each of the following:
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one’s self; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived—this is to have succeeded.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is not what you look at, but what you see.
-Henry David Thoreau
Hope is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words-
And never stops – at all –
-Emily Dickinson
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
-Robert Frost
