Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why should I cumber myself with regrets that the receiver is not capacious? It never troubles the sun that some of his rays fall wide and vain into ungrateful space, and only a small part on the reflecting planet. Let your greatness educate the crude and cold companion.
Summary
This quote suggests that one should not burden themselves with regret because someone may not appreciate or value their efforts or actions. It uses the analogy of the sun, which sheds its rays widely, including on ungrateful space, but does not let that bother it. Instead, it aims to educate and enlighten those who may be indifferent or unsupportive. The quote advises embracing one's greatness and using it to positively influence those who may initially be unappreciative or unresponsive.
