Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Summary

This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson emphasizes the idea that we often take the extraordinary beauty of everyday wonders for granted. If stars appeared only once every thousand years, humanity would cherish and revere them. However, as they grace the night sky every night, their magnificence goes unnoticed.

What does seem to me poisonous, what breeds a type of patriotism that is pernicious if it lasts but not likely to last long in an educated adult, is the perfectly serious indoctrination of the young in knowably false or biased history - the heroic legend drably disguised as text-book fact. With this creeps in the tacit assumption that other nations have not equally their heroes; perhaps even the belief - surely it is very bad biology - that we can literally 'inherit' tradition.
