Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

We are born believing. A man bears beliefs, as a tree bears beauty.

We are born believing. A man bears beliefs, as a tree bears

Summary

This quote implies that belief is a natural and inherent part of human identity. Just as a tree possesses beauty regardless of external factors, humans naturally possess their own set of beliefs from birth. It suggests that beliefs are deep-rooted within individuals, shaping their perspectives and actions. Similar to how a tree's beauty can be admired and appreciated, our beliefs should be acknowledged and respected as an intrinsic part of who we are.

The characteristic of genuine heroism is its persistency. All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be the common, nor the common the heroic.

When you come to look into this argument from design, it is a most astonishing thing that people can believe that this world, with all the things that are in it, with all its defects, should be the best that omnipotence and omniscience have been able to produce in millions of years. I really cannot believe it. Do you think that, if you were granted omnipotence and omniscience and millions of years in which to perfect your world, you could produce nothing better than the Ku Klux Klan or the Fascists? Moreover, if you accept the ordinary laws of science, you have to suppose that human life and life in general on this planet will die out in due course: it is a stage in the decay of the solar system; at a certain stage of decay you get the sort of conditions of temperature and so forth which are suitable to protoplasm, and there is life for a short time in the life of the whole solar system. You see in the moon the sort of thing to which the earth is tending -- something dead, cold, and lifeless.
