“Character is higher than Intellect.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection

In this quote written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, he states “Character is higher than intellect.” What Ralph is trying to say is that character is one of the most valuable things you can have from yourself without character there is no life. In this world, the world makes you who you are but the people are the ones that decide who they want to be. Yet Character is built by people themselves and who they want to be. Ralph was saying character is built from the heart not the world.
