Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

In nature nothing can be given. All things are sold.

In nature nothing can be given. All things are sold.

Summary

This quote suggests that in nature, nothing comes for free. The concept of "giving" in nature is replaced by the idea of "exchange" or "selling." It implies that there is always a cost or consequence attached to obtaining anything in the natural world. It highlights the inherent balance and interconnectivity of nature, where every resource, action, or acquisition comes with a price or trade-off.

Joshie has always told Post Human Services Staff to keep a diary, to remember who we were because every moment, our brains and synapses are being rebuilt and rewired with maddening disregard for our personalities, so that each year, each month, each day, we transfer into a different person, an utterly unfaithful iteration of our original selves, of the drooling kid in the sandbox.

Men often treat others worse than they treat themselves, but they rarely treat anyone better. It is the height of folly to expect consideration and decency from a person who mistreats himself.

It is not enough to be good. You must be good for something.

It is not enough to be good. You must be good for something. You must contribute good to the world. The world must be a better place for your presence. And the good that is in you must be spread to others. In this world so filled with problems, so constantly threatened by dark and evil challenges, you can and must rise above mediocrity, above indifference. You can become involved and speak with a strong voice for that which is right.http://www.zionsbest.com/pessimism.html
