Quote by John Oxenham
To every man there openeth A way, and ways, and a way. And the high soul climbs the high way, And the low soul gropes the low: And in between, on the misty flats, The rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openeth A high way and a low, And every man decideth. The way his soul shall go.
Summary
This quote emphasizes that each individual has various paths available to them, both high and low, and it is up to them to determine which way their soul will journey. The "high soul" chooses to climb the challenging high road, while the "low soul" settles for a less fulfilling path. The rest, however, remain indecisive, drifting aimlessly in the middle. Ultimately, it highlights the importance of personal choice and the consequences it may have on the direction and fulfillment of one's life.
