Character

"Character is higher than intellect."

 Ralph Waldo was and is absolutely correct. Intellect is important, but so is a good character. With only an intellectual image and no good character, then sorry but, it's no use. You can't be a great person without having good character. It sounds harsh, yes, forgive me for it sounds the way you read but hear me out. Let's say you're signing up for a job and there are other people. You must take a test in order to be accepted. Now, the real test was your character. Do you think they'd choose the people with higher scores who also had bad character? Of course not! Having bad character is like... not being moral, and it seems like there would be no place for you. Okay, I know that sounded even meaner, I don't know how to elucidate this clearly. A man of literature; Ralph, could explain to you. Basically, good character out wits gold and all the riches one could imagine. It's greater than intellect, but surely, we should all try our best to be an intellectual.
