Character

"Character is higher

than intellect"

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

My Opinion on this quote is that i pretty much don't get it at all i mean don't you need intellect to be able to determine character? if so should or wont you be needed both instead of one? i don't know man i wasn't the one who wrote this god awful quote but anyways i need to complete it so I'm just going to stop asking questions and just put out what i think about it, okay so its trying to say that you need or character is more higher than intellect..in all truth i don't believe that at all i don't think not thing else is higher than your own thoughts or mind cause that's what makes your character so whoever this dude is that made this quote i think he needed to think this one a bit through, anyways as i was saying i was going to give an example but i cant think of a good one...ill try but it might not come out how i want it to..so think about this if you yourself think that character is more higher than intellect..how will you know how your acting the "right" way if you just left off being intellect..yeah its sorta what i mean..kinda..no its okay its all good but yeah thats what i wanted to mean and or say so i guess its good to think about that than to go out looking like a complete idiot in front of others. (might i add is that i love that expression of his face its like "shut the f*ck up kid, i know what i meant" X,DD kms)
