Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thoughts come into our minds by avenues which we never left open, and thoughts go out of our minds through avenues which we never voluntarily opened.

Thoughts come into our minds by avenues which we never left

Summary

This quote suggests that thoughts have a mysterious nature in how they enter and leave our minds. It implies that thoughts can arise unexpectedly, without any conscious effort, entering our minds through channels or channels we never intentionally opened. Similarly, thoughts can disappear or fade away without our conscious intention, departing through pathways we never deliberately chose. In essence, the quote acknowledges that our thought processes are not entirely under our control and that thoughts have a somewhat elusive quality to them.

We placed the wreaths upon the splendid granite sarcophagus, and at its feet, and felt that only the earthly robe we loved so much was there. The pure, tender, loving spirit which loved us so tenderly, is above us -- loving us, praying for us, and free from all suffering and woe -- yes, that is a comfort, and that first birthday in another world must have been a far brighter one than any in this poor world below!
