Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

That which we call sin in others, is experiment for us.

That which we call sin in others, is experiment for us.

Summary

This quote suggests that when we label or criticize the actions of others as sinful or morally wrong, we fail to realize that we ourselves may end up committing similar actions in order to gain knowledge or personal experience. It implies that what we perceive as faults in others are merely opportunities for personal growth and understanding. In essence, it urges us to be more introspective and compassionate when judging others, as we may ultimately find ourselves walking the same path.

The war of words is done;The red-lipped cannon speak;The battle has begun.The web your speeches spunTears and blood shall streak;The war of words is done.Smoke enshrouds the sun;Earth staggers at the shriekOf battle new begun.Poltroons and braggarts run:Woe to the poor, the meek!The war of words is done.And hope not now to shunThe doom that dogs the weak,Thunders every gun;Victory must be won.When the red-lipped cannon speak,The war of words is done,The slaughter has begun.
