"Every mind must make its choice between truth and repose. It cannot have both"

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

About this Quote

This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson speaks to the tough choice that we all must make in life. It is a choice in between truth and repose, or to put it simply, between understanding and convenience. To pursue reality is to look for knowledge and understanding, but it can be a difficult and uncomfortable journey. On the other hand, to seek repose is to look for comfort and security, but it can lead to an absence of understanding and understanding. We need to choose in between the 2, as we can not have both. This quote motivates us to think deeply about our choices and to make sure that we are making the best decision for ourselves. It is a tip that we must be willing to take dangers and make sacrifices in order to get knowledge and understanding. Eventually, it depends on us to choose which course we will take.
