"Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see"
- Martin Luther King Jr.
About this Quote
The quote by Martin Luther King Jr. suggests that there is more to the world and the important things we see than satisfies the eye. Our understandings are restricted by what we can see and comprehend, and there is constantly a surprise truth beyond what is apparent. What we observe is just a reflection of something else that we can not directly see, but it still impacts our lives and experiences. The quote may also imply that our actions have a greater effect than we recognize, and the consequences of what we do can project shadows that shape the world around us.
"The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom"
