Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Be and not seem.

Be and not seem.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of authenticity and genuine behavior over appearances and pretense. It encourages people to focus on being true to themselves rather than trying to appear a certain way to impress or deceive others. In essence, it suggests that one's actions and character should align with their true intentions and values, rather than putting on a false faÃ§ade to please others. By being and not just seeming, individuals can foster stronger relationships, build trust, and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

For you will never be what you ought to be until they are what they ought to be.

I think that it's important that people of different backgrounds and different faiths go to school together and many faith schools do that.
