A good indignation brings out all one's powers.
Interpretation
Healthy anger can inspire us to harness our full potential.
Ralph Waldo Emerson suggests that feeling a righteous indignation can be a powerful motivator for individuals. When we encounter injustice or wrongdoings, this intense emotional response can awaken our inner strengths and capabilities, driving us to action and encouraging us to stand up for what we believe in.
In practice
In a speech about social justice, one might say, 'As Ralph Waldo Emerson noted, a good indignation brings out all one's powers to advocate for change.'
It is plain that there is no separate essence called courage, no cup or cell in the brain, no vessel in the heart containing drops or atoms that make or give this virtue; but it is the right or healthy state of every man, when he is free to do that which is constitutional to him to do.
Few people have any next, they live from hand to mouth without a plan, and are always at the end of their line.
Men cease to interest us when we find their limitations

The world belongs to the energetic.
Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?
I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.
Cherish your visions. Cherish your ideals. Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. For out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment, of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.
Make yourself a "capacity" and I will make myself a "torrent."
Belief in yourself is what happens when you know you've done the thing things that entitle you to success.
The truth of the matter is that there's nothing you can't accomplish if: (1) You clearly decide what it is that you're absolutely committed to achieving, (2) You're willing to take massive action, (3) You notice what's working or not, and (4) You continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want, using whatever life gives you along the way.
Every moment wasted looking back, keeps us from moving forward.
