Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life is eating us up. We shall be fables presently. Keep cool it will be all one a hundred years hence.

Life is eating us up. We shall be fables presently. Keep coo

Summary

This quote suggests that life can be overwhelming and consume us completely. However, it also implies that in time, our existence will become nothing more than stories or tales of the past. The phrase "keep cool" reminds us to remain calm and not become distraught by life's challenges because, ultimately, all our worries and struggles will fade away and be insignificant in the grand scheme of things, a hundred years from now.
