By necessity, by providity, and by delight, we all quote.
-R.W. Emerson
A quick comment
Ralph Waldo Emerson, the poet and writer, here captures the spirit of quotes. We all have various reasons why we quote, but the fact is we all tend to quote. Quotes we use become us.
How often have you had people give you a quote that just sticks with you from childhood to adulthood? Quotes reveal the psyche, the thought process of a generation or culture, and also preserve it.
Some quote to amuse themselves or others. Some quote because the quote makes a difference…such as a President giving a speech. The quote seizes and captivates the moment and makes it special. I remember some quotes my grandparents used to say, and I am thankful to remember the quote because it helps me remember these special people in my life.
What to do with this famous saying:
Keep on quoting! How often have you quoted a relative, now gone, or far away, but have said “my grandmother always said or used to say…”? I did just yesterday, come to think of it! You see, quotes are a part of our lives, our memory, our natural habit and one should seek to quote for all reasons mentioned, because our lives are made fuller because of our quotes.
That’s why I wrote this…because this quote captures the essence of why…because it gives pleasure, it is necessary and it is useful to us all. Quote, and enjoy life!
