A Person Will Worship Something

“A Person Will Worship Something”
by Ralph Waldo Emerson

A person will worship something-have no doubt about that.
We may think our tribute is paid in secret
in the dark recesses of our hearts-
but it will out.

That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts
will determine our lives, and character.
Therefore, it behoves us to be careful what we worship,
for what we are worshipping we are becoming.
