I love quotes! I am beginning a new weekly post for the "quote for the week." Ralph Waldo Emerson is my favorite person to quote, so I will begin with him and my absolute favorite quote by him:
"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said today. – ‘Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.’ — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood."
I have realized that I have been holding back from speaking my truth. I plan on speaking my mind about something I think is very important in a later post this week. So, please check back!
Namaste,
Sheila
That is a great quote, and o so true.
Speak your mind, say what is in your heart. Be straight-forward in your words and deeds and you will always stand on solid ground.
You can quote me on that!
Cheers!
