Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying.

Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying

Summary

This quote emphasizes the significance of one's actions and behaviors in defining their true character and identity. It suggests that mere words without corresponding behaviors or actions hold little weight and reveal little about a person's true intentions or beliefs. It implies that people should be judged based on their actions and not solely on what they say. One's actions and conduct are considered to be the true representation of their character, which cannot be concealed by mere words.

But it's something that I think is important to know, especially as I get older and given that I have heart disease in my family.
