Quote by Alexander Maclaren

Man's course begins in a garden, but it ends in a city.

Man's course begins in a garden, but it ends in a city.

Summary

This quote suggests that the journey of a human being starts in a natural and simplistic state, represented by a garden, where everything is natural, peaceful, and connected with nature. However, as human civilization progresses, it moves away from nature and towards complex urban environments symbolized by cities. This implies that as society evolves, people become disconnected from nature and more entangled in the complexities of modern life in urban settings.
