Emerson Said It

5  Quotes (Self- Reliance)

  1. Quote: "malice and vanity wear the coat of philanthropy"
  • This is a significant quote because it explains the "love and humanity" in which Emerson explains the significant role of his essay that he creates the sense of caring which explains nourishing, developing, and enhancing. This develops how Emerson focuses on the quality of life in the way he interprets on self- reliance. In addition in his essay he is very motivational and instructive but yet he explains that everyone one can change the world as long as they create a good life the law of consciousness but then yet some people don't apply to themselves. 
    2.  Quote: "Men had look at themselves and are not from who they are"        
  • This quote stood out to me because it applies to the present and the past on what Emerson identifies the men of the past and the difference between the men in the present. Back in the past men tend to be more themselves and now men care what other people think about themselves. Men now tend to pretend someone that they are not and they do it to fit in. However Emerson explains them to be more smart intelligent and be who they are.
    3.  Quote: "The worlds been instructed by kings"

  • This quote was mention in the Socratic in which they mention that this is interesting because its like a leadership or popularity in a way. What the quote means is that their are people in the world who tend to take a lead on anything such as being captain for soccer etc. or like a president trying to make America better. This shows once we have followers in which in the quote they are comparing it as kings they have followers and they always answer or try to do something about the situation they are usually in demand. Like you have to do this.
   4.  quote: " Go love thy wood- chopper: be good nature and modest ; have that grace and never varnish"
   5.  quote: " light, nature, time, souls from the center of the present thought more than a cheerful apologue or parable being and becoming.
