An advice: ECHO-from-19thCentury

It was a moment when I was sitting on my desk and came across this brilliant quote by 19th century American Essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson.


It said:-

“The true test of civilization is not the census, nor the size of cities, nor the crops - no, but the kind of man the country turns out.”  

After reading this, I was amazed by its striking relation with whatever our world, our own country is going through. Whether it is inflation, terrorism, debt-crises, job-crises, yellow revolution, environmental issues or anything, it is hovering over us. These testing times are going to test every country as a man and our world as a home for mankind. As we have let go of what we have done so far (not without lessons learnt) do decide future-face of the human-race.






Perhaps, Ralph Waldo Emerson knew that his quote will provide insight to people of every century and they can get over every sort of crises.

Long live our efforts to do right and be right!
