Quote by Mary Gardiner Brainard

That which we look on with unselfish love And true humility is surely ours, Even as a lake looks at the stars above And makes within itself a heaven of stars.

That which we look on with unselfish love And true humility

Summary

This quote suggests that when we view something or someone with selfless love and genuine humility, we can claim it as our own in a meaningful way. Just like a lake, by reflecting the beauty of the stars above, creates its own celestial haven, we can create our own sense of fulfillment when we approach life and others with love and humility. By embracing these qualities, we create a harmonious and profound connection with what we admire, inviting it into our lives.
