Modern Day Legacy: Nature

Hakuna Matata- The Lion King

Philosophy of Education

"There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion;"

-Quote from "Self Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is a point in life where you mature and make logic of everything. ONe sets aside the simple minded thoughts to make sense of real life.

"When I, sitting, heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture room"

-Quote from "When I hear the Learn'd Astronomer" by Walt Whitman

When one teaches of something they are passionate about, they are appraised for it. If one loves a subject, they should teach it.

Philosophy of Nature

"My tongue, every atom of my blood, formed from this soil, this air, Born here of parents born her of parents the same, and their parents the same, I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin, Hoping to cease not till death."

-Quote from "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman

I feel Whitman is expressing his festive tone throughout the poem by portraying nature to the root of existence. The overall meaning is that we are all born on Earth uncontrollably, and although we don't know everything, we should just live day to day with happiness like the generations before us did.

"Nature always wears the colors of the spirit"

-Quote from "Nature" by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Emerson is explaining that we view nature and our surroundings differently depending on our emotional status. If we are feeling sad, nature is a sort of tranquility to lean on, and if were happy we see it as enjoyable. Nature is an inexhaustible presence that will always bring out the truth in ourselves.

Philosophy of Religion

"The Brain is just the weight of God--For Heft them-- Pound for Pound-- And they will differ-- if they do-- As Syllable from Sound--"

-Quote from "The Brain-- is wider than the Sky" by Emily Dickinson"

This quote is saying that God and the brain differ like syllable and sound. God is the sound because sound is huge and everywhere, and our brain is the syllable because we are and our brains our only a small part of this world that God created, just as syllables are only small parts of a word.

Modern Day Legacy: Religion

"God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. It needs a divine man to exhibit anything divine."

-Quote from "Self Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson

I feel Emerson put this quote here to show that we need to be our own person. God made us unique and unlike any other for a reason, we need to be Godlike to be able to carry out His plans for us.

This is a clip from Chronicles of Narnia.

This specific clip shows Aslan's resurrection, and in this series, Aslan represents Christ. This then represents Jesus' resurrection.
