About This Quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson’s quote, “do not forget that the value and interest of life is not so much to do conspicuous things…as to do ordinary things with the perception of their enormous value ,” expresses a belief that true beauty lies when we see beauty in ordinary things. When we see beauty in the mundane, when we see beauty in the simple, when we see beauty in what surrounds us every day, then we can appreciate the world in a way that makes our lives more meaningful. In other words, when we celebrate the beauty of life, then we open our eyes to appreciate the world around us and we can find meaning and perspective in our everyday lives.
