“Character is higher than intellect.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection: Ralph Waldo is trying to say that character is really important. Character is important because it’s a big part of who you are.  Nothing is more important than character. Ralph’s quote means that character is more important than intellect. Intellect means a reasoning and understanding objectively. I think this quote is true because i believe there is character is more important than intellectual. You are the only person who can make a decision. So, yes i believe that character is higher than intellectual.
