Student Success Statement 46

Student Success Statement
“Character is higher than intellect”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

What I think this quote means is than what defines a person isn’t how smart or dumb a person is. What defines someone is their personality.

Student Success Statement 41



Student Success Statement
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

What I think this quote means is that your past doesn’t define you. What defines you is your present, the actions you do now. If you were a bad person in the past but changed you can define yourself as a good person. We can’t judge others by you they used to be. We judge others by who they are now.
