Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote

Friday Quotes

Friday Quote

“For each thorn, there’s a rosebud…

For each twilight – a dawn…

For each trial – the strength to carry on,

For each storm cloud – a rainbow…

For each shadow – the sun…

For each parting – sweet memories

when sorrow is done.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

The thorn represents hardship, adversity, or pain we encounter in life. The rosebud symbolizes hope, beauty and joy.

Ralph Waldo Emerson’s writings often explore themes of finding meaning even after difficult experiences. His writings touch upon the idea that loss and sorrow are inevitable parts of life and sorrow may pass but it’s impact can linger.
