Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

← Back to Quote

English (Source)

Every achievement of the so-called progress is accompanied by certain losses: for example, society is enriched by an invention, but at the same time a characteristic that is born with all of us is lost. The educated man has a swing, but he can hardly use his legs anymore. He has a great Geneva clock, but he gets an astronomical calendar because he trusts that he can find everything he needs to know in the book, he doesn't recognize a single star in the sky, and he doesn't notice either the spring or autumn equinoxes. A sensible person rejects all trivial things and always returns in the end to what he needs most.

Az Ășgynevezett haladĂĄsnak minden vĂ­vmĂĄnya bizonyos vesztesĂ©gekkel jĂĄr egyĂŒtt: pĂ©ldĂĄul a tĂĄrsadalom gazdagodik egy talĂĄlmĂĄnnyal, de ugyanakkor elvĂ©sz egy olyan tulajdonsĂĄg, mely mindannyiunkkal vele szĂŒletett. A mƱvelt embernek hintaja van, de mĂĄr alig tudja hasznĂĄlni a lĂĄbait. Remek genfi ĂłrĂĄja van, de csillagĂĄszati naptĂĄrt szerez be, mivel bĂ­zik abban, hogy a könyvben minden tudnivalĂłt megtalĂĄl, egyetlen egy csillagot sem ismer fel az Ă©gbolton s nem veszi Ă©szre sem a tavaszi, sem az Ƒszi napĂ©jegyenlƑsĂ©get. Az Ă©rtelmes ember minden henye dolgot elvet magĂĄtĂłl s mindig visszatĂ©r vĂ©gĂŒl is ahhoz, ami neki a legszĂŒksĂ©gesebb.
