To be great is to be misunderstood Emerson quote Postcard
This great quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson appears in his essay Self Reliance. The full quote is: Speak what you think now in hard words and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict everything you said today.–"Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood."–Is it so bad then to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernious, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.. I have always loved Emerson's writing and philosophy, as you can see from a few of his quotes being placed on more than a few designs in my store. I decided to create a simple but bold design, with a bright blue and white text. This is a great gift for fans of Ralph Waldo Emerson's writing or anyone looking for a motivational quote with a lot of style.

I got these to go with the matching invitations and used them as RSVP postcards. Everyone loves them! The feedback was they are the neatest design the invitees have seen! Just a word of caution these default to matte so if you are wanting gloss you have to change it manually. Thanks Cathy for providing the best product for our occasion! I am super impressed! .
