"Character is higher than intellect."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
I believe that this quote it trying to show the readers that character is higher than intellect because intellect has to do with knowledge and anyone can have knowledge but character shows everyone who you truly are. If you have high intellect then you are very good at school but with when you have high intellect you must also have high character. Without high character, you are only showing the world that the intellect you possess is nothing because you do not have the character it requires. This quote is also trying to show the readers that character puts thoughts into people's mind about you depending on your good or bad character. if you have high intellect but very low character then people are going to think you are smart but not responsible or that you are rude, but if you have high intellect and high character people will think that you are intelligent and that you are kind and you always make the right choice. Choices determine character such as shape determines function. Everyone may not act the same which shows that everyone's character is different. The only goal we all have in common is that everyone wants to strive for high character and high intellect. Don't make the wrong choices and always have high character and high intellect. If others are capable of it so are you.
