Quote by Henry David Thoreau

Humility like the darkness, reveals the heavenly lights.

Humility like the darkness, reveals the heavenly lights.

Summary

This quote suggests that humility, much like darkness, allows us to see the true beauty and brilliance of heavenly lights. Just as darkness creates contrast and enhances the visibility of stars and other celestial objects, humility opens our hearts and minds, enabling us to recognize and appreciate the divine aspects of the world around us. In acknowledging our limitations and putting our egos aside, we become more receptive to the wisdom and goodness that exist beyond our individual selves.
