The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.

Summary

Instead of letting our achievements inflate our ego, this awareness fosters modesty by reminding us of the vastness and complexity of the world around us. It encourages us to remain humble and open-minded, acknowledging that there is always more to learn and achieve.

Republics abound in young civilians who believe that the law

Republics abound in young civilians who believe that the laws make the city, that grave modifications of the policy and modes of living and employments of the population, that commerce, education and religion may be voted in or out; and that any measure, though it were absurd, may be imposed on a people if only you can get sufficient voices to make it a law. But the wise know that foolish legislation is a rope of sand which perishes in the twisting; that the State must follow and not lead the character and progress of the citizen; that the form of government which prevails is the expression of what cultivation exists in the population which permits it. The law is only a memorandum.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
