The journey is the destination. It is better to travel than to arrive. Getting there is half the fun. Life only avails, not the having lived. Power ceases in the instant of repose; it resides in the moment of transition from a past to a new state, in the shooting of the gulf, in the darting to an aim. This one fact the world hates, that the soul *becomes*; for that for ever degrades the past, turns all riches to poverty, all reputation to a shame, confounds the saint with the rogue, shoves Jesus and Judas equally aside. http://www.emersoncentral.com/selfreliance.htm http://www.emersoncentral.com/selfreliance.htm
