Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The gods we worship write their names on our faces, be sure of that.”

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Worship and Becoming

The gods we worship write their names on our faces, be sure of that. And a man will worship something – have no doubt about that, either. He may think that his tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of his heart – but it will out. That which dominates will determine his life and character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshiping we are becoming.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
