Quote by John Lennon

When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.

When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of finding contentment in one's own actions, regardless of external recognition or validation. It suggests that even if our noble and beautiful deeds go unnoticed by others, we should not feel disheartened. The comparison with the sun rising every morning, captivating but unappreciated by a slumbering audience, serves as a reminder that not everyone will recognize and appreciate our efforts. Nonetheless, it encourages us to derive satisfaction from the inherent goodness of our actions, rather than seeking validation from others.
