Quote by Francis Herbert Hedge
What we need most, is not so much to realize the ideal as to idealize the real.
Summary
This quote suggests that rather than focusing on achieving the perfect or idealized version of something, what we truly need is to appreciate and elevate the value of what already exists in reality. It emphasizes the importance of finding beauty and significance in the present moment, circumstances, and relationships. Rather than constantly yearning for an unattainable ideal, the quote suggests that we should strive to find the extraordinary within the ordinary and learn to embrace and idealize the real aspects of life.
