Thought for the Day

“You are not responsible
for what people think about you.
But you are responsible for
what you give them to think about you.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

An American philosopher, lecturer, essayist, and poet, best remembered for leading the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thought through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States.
