Citoni ca nga ky transhendentalisti se i ka te bukura

Epo ne një Çupkë pe Korçe kemi në forum dhe duhet ta mbajmë si ujët e pakët.

Siç urdhërove zonjushë! Të përkthyera në Shqip për shkëlqesinë tënde: Fjalë të urta nga Ralph Waldo Emerson

----------------------citati i sakte--------------------------
I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.
I urrej citatet. Më thuaj ato që di.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Ngryse cdo ditë dhe hiqe nga mëndja. Ti ke bërë ate që munde; të kanë shpëtuar edhe disa gafa; harroji sa më parë. E nesërmja është një ditë e re; do ta fillosh në qetësi dhe shpirti i pastër nuk do të lejojë të pengohesh me budallallëqet e vjetra.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Conservatism makes no poetry, breathes no prayer, has no invention; it is all memory. Reform has no gratitude, no prudence, no husbandry.

Konservatizmi nuk shkruan poezi, nuk frymëzon lutjet, nuk ka shpikje; Gjithçka është kujtesë. Reforma nuk ka mirënjohje, as kujdes, as kursim.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.
Kush do të bëhet burrë duhet të jetë jokomformist.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.

A duhet të na vijë keq kur keqkuptohemi? Pythagoras e keqkuptuan, dhe Sokratin, dhe Jezusin, dhe Lutherin, dhe Kopernikusin, dhe Galileon, dhe Njutoni dhe çdo shpirt i paster dhe i zgjuar që u bë njeri. Të jesh i madh do të thotë të keqkuptohesh.
---------------------------------------------------------------
A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.

Një ngjarje kryesore e jetës është dita gjatë së cilës kemi takuar një mëndje që na ka tronditur.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The god of the cannibals will be a cannibal, of the crusaders a crusader, and of the merchants a merchant.

Zoti i kanibalëve do jetë një kanibal, i kryqëtarëve një kryqëtar, i tregëtarëve një tregtar.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Things are in the saddle and ride mankind.
Gjërat janë në samar dhe kalërojnë njëriun.
----------------------------------------------------------------
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

E gjithë jeta është një eksperiment. Sa më shumë eksperimente të bësh, aq më mirë.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The only way to have a friend is to be one.
E vetmja mënyrë për të patur një shok, është të jesh shok.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Go oft to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.

Shko shpesh në shtëpinë e shokut, se barishtet e mbysin rrugën e pashkelur.
----------------------------------------------------------------
When Nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.
Kur natyra ka punë për të kryer, ajo krijon një gjeni për ta bërë atë.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it.
Shpërblimi i një pune të bërë mirë është ta kesh mbaruar atë.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Society acquires new arts, and loses old instincts.
Shoqeria zotëron arte të rinj dhe humbet instinkte të vjetra.
----------------------------------------------------------------
To fill the hour—that is happiness.
Të kalosh kohën—ajo është lumturi
----------------------------------------------------------------
Every hero becomes a bore at last.
Çdo hero bëhet i bezdisur.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hitch your wagon to a star.
Lidhja karrocën një ylli.
----------------------------------------------------------------
What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not been discovered.
Çfarë është një barishte e keqe? Një bimë së cilës nuk i kemi zbuluar virtytet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Kaq për sot....të tjera nesër që me natë.

----------------------------------------------------------------
There are always two parties; the establishment and the movement.

Ka gjithnje dy parti; themeluesja dhe e levizjes.
----------------------------------------------------------------
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by
little statesman and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do.

Nje qendrueshmeri qesharake eshte gogoli i mendjeve te trasha, i adhuruar nga qeveritaret, filozofet dhe fetaret. Nje njeri zemergjere nuk ka asnje lidhje me qendrueshmerine.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Let us treat men and women well; treat them as if they were real. Perhaps they are.
Ti trajtojme mire burrat dhe grate; ti trajtojme sikur te ishin te vertete. Mbase jane.
----------------------------------------------------------------
What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.
Problemet qe shtrihen mbrapa dhe para nesh jane te vogla ne krahasim me ato qe shtrihen perbrenda nesh.
----------------------------------------------------------------
To be great is to be misunderstood.
Te jesh i madh do te thote te jesh i keqkuptuar.
----------------------------------------------------------------
We boil at different degrees.
Ne ziejme ne temperatura te ndryshme.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Asgje e madhe nuk eshte arritur pa entuziazm.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship.

Lavdia e miqesise nuk eshte dora e hapur, nuk eshte buzeqeshja e perzemert, nuk eshte gezimi i shoqerise; eshte frymezimi shpirteror qe i lind njeriut kur ai zbulon qe nje njeri tjeter beson tek ai dhe eshte i gatshem ta besoje me miqesine e tij.
----------------------------------------------------------------
That which we persist in doing becomes easier for us to do; not that the nature of the thing itself is changed, but that our power to do is increased.

Eshte me e lehte te bejme dicka kur ngulim kembe per ta bere; kjo jo sepse ndryshon natyra e punes, por sepse rritet fuqia jone per ta bere ate.
----------------------------------------------------------------
There is properly no history; only biography.
Me te drejte nuk ka histori; vetem biografi.
----------------------------------------------------------------
There is then creative reading as well as creative writing.
Atehere ka lexim krijues ashtu si dhe shkrim krijues.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Make yourself necessary to someone.
Behu i nevojshem per dike.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Art is a jealous mistress.
Arti eshte nje dashnore xheloze.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The louder he talked of his honour, the faster we counted our spoons.
Sa me forte fliste ai per nderin, aq me shpejt ne numeronim luget.
----------------------------------------------------------------
It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person,
‘Always do what you are afraid to do.’

Kam degjuar njehere nje keshille te forte qe ju dha nje te riu,
'Gjithnje bej ate qe ke frike te besh.'
----------------------------------------------------------------
All sensible people are selfish, and nature is tugging at every
contract to make the terms of it fair.

Te gjithe njerezit e arsyeshem jane egoiste, dhe natura po ben ceshte e mundur te vere drejtesine.
----------------------------------------------------------------
In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.
Kur rreshqasim mbi akull te holle, siguria jone eshte tek shpejtesia.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be one.

I vetmi shperblim i virtytit eshte virtyti; e vetmje menyre per te patur nje shok eshte te jesh shok
----------------------------------------------------------------
If a man write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mouse-**** than his neighbour, tho' he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.

Kur nje njeri shkruan nje liber me te mire, predikon me mire, ose nderton nje llokan minjsh me te mire se komshiu i tij, atehere edhe nqs ai e nderton shtepine ne pyll, bota do ta hape rrugen gjer tek dera e shtepise.
----------------------------------------------------------------
