Product Description

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

The quotation engraved on this necklace is attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson. Born in 1803 in Boston, Emerson became the leading essayist of his day, a poet and a preacher.

From a long line of ministers, Emerson himself became a minister of the secon Unitarian Church of Boston in 1829. He became a central figure of the philosophical movement known as transcendentalism, which held that reality is essentially mental or spiritual in nature. He died in 1882.

Whatever Emerson's philosophical reasoning, this quotation about the value and meaning of self reliance is an inspirational one that we may all agree on.
