More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. they laughed at columbus, they laughed at fulton, they laughed at the wright brothers. but they also laughed at bozo the clown.

Acceptance is appreciation, and the high value of appreciation is such that to appreciate appreciation seems to be the fundamental prerequisite for survival. mankind will not die for lack of information; it may perish for lack of appreciation.

You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of your grandfathers. so that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our mother. whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. if men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.
Mother Respect Children
Incapacity to appreciate certain types of beauty may be the condition sine qua non for the appreciation of another kind; the greatest capacity both for enjoyment and creation is highly specialized and exclusive, and hence the greatest ages of art have often been strangely intolerant. the invectives of one school against another, perverse as they are philosophically, are artistically often signs of health, because they indicate a vital appreciation of certain kinds of beauty, a love of them that has grown into a jealous passion.

In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.

Leaves are usually looked upon as the children of the tree. yes, they are children of the tree, born from the tree, but they are also mothers of the tree. the leaves combine raw sap, water, and minerals, with sunshine and gas, and convert it into a variegated sap that can nourish the tree. in this way, the leaves become the mother of the tree. we are all children of society, but we are also mothers. we have to nourish society. if we are uprooted from society, we can not trasform it into a more liveable place for us and our children.
