Quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide.

The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide.

Summary

This quote means that when things are at their worst and it seems like there is no hope, that is often when they start to improve. Just like the lowest point of an ebb tide marks the beginning of the tide turning and rising again, our lowest moments in life can often signal the beginning of a positive change or a new opportunity. It highlights the notion that even in our darkest times, there is always a possibility for a better outcome, reminding us to keep persevering.
