Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, we could learn quite a bit from these two
great artists in literature. They have created stories with such great and different meaning to
their readers, and many quotes can be found in each one. Here are three quotes found in their
stories, each with their own purpose. A quote by Emerson is “what I must do is all that concerns
me, not what the people think”, one quote by Thoreau is “heaven is under our feet as well as
over our heads”, and another quote by Thoreau is “if you have built castles in the air, your work
need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them”. The three
quotes are not so similar because they all have a divergent purpose and meaning to them.

are not only found past our world, but could be right under our nose, literally! This quote can be
like saying the clouds and the heavens of our galaxy above and below the great reefs of the
oceans or canyons or mineral caves below our feet.
Now for the final quote; “if you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is
where they should be. Now put the foundations under them”. This quote can have some deep
meaning to the readers and if you think about it, the quote describes something our parents tell
us when we were kids. The quote would explain your goals, hopes, ideas, and creations, they all
reach up into the sky. Your creativity and dreams or accomplishments soar up to the sky and
the things you imagine builds up your castle. Dreams can reach for the stars or the clouds in the
sky, and to make them real you must make a path down to earth to accomplish what you want.
In conclusion, the three quotes all have divergent meanings and purposes to their readers, they
don’t relate a lot to one another. The first quote is focused on being your own person and
