Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

You cannot see the mountain near

You cannot see the mountain near

Summary

This quote suggests that sometimes we are too close to a situation to fully perceive or appreciate its significance or beauty. Just as when standing at the base of a mountain, we may not be able to see the majestic view or understand its true scale. It highlights the importance of gaining perspective and distance in order to gain a clearer understanding or appreciation of something. It reminds us that sometimes we need to step back and take a broader look to truly comprehend and value what is in front of us.

Many times a day I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.
