Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Alcohol, hashish, prussic acid, strychnine are weak dilutions. The surest poison is time.
Summary
This quote suggests that while substances like alcohol, hashish, prussic acid, and strychnine may be considered poisonous, they are actually weak in comparison to the destructive power of time. Time has the ability to gradually erode and deteriorate anything and everything, whether it be physical objects or intangible aspects of life like relationships or opportunities. Unlike the immediate effects of ingesting a poison, the effects of time are subtle but relentless, making it the most potent and certain of all poisons.
