To be great is to be misunderstood Emerson quote T-Shirt
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.

My 11 yo wore adult XL (5’7” 165#). The 8yo is small framed. She wore adult small and tied it in the back. Dark haired male wore adult large and 5’9”, 110# female wore adult medium . Good quality dark Heather gray, Gildan brand shirt. -it was next up from basic choice and cost about $20 per shirt. Not too thick or thin. Washed and dried well, no major shrinkage. Not see-through. Can wear a bra under it fine. Screen print is just as shown and well done, front and back.
