Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sorrow makes us children again.

Sorrow makes us children again.

Summary

This quote suggests that when we experience sorrow, it regresses us to a childlike state. Sorrow can overwhelm and consume us, bringing out a sense of vulnerability and helplessness, similar to how children rely on others for comfort and guidance. In times of sorrow, we may find ourselves seeking solace and support from others, longing for reassurance and protection. Just as children rely on adults for nurturing, sorrow reminds us of our human fragility and our need for compassion, understanding, and care from those around us.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.

Men are made uneasy; they flinch; they cannot bear the sudde

Men are made uneasy; they flinch; they cannot bear the sudden light; a general restlessness supervenes; the face of society is disturbed, or perhaps convulsed; old interests and old beliefs have been destroyed before new ones have been created.
