About This Quote
In this quote, Ralph Waldo Emerson is saying that one must take responsibility for their thoughts and actions. They must accept the consequences of what they have chosen to do. This does not mean that those who believe in God can’t be held responsible for their actions. The important thing is to accept the consequences of those actions, not hide behind a belief in a higher power.
