- Thomas Jefferson

About this Quote

This quote by Thomas Jefferson urges us to take action in order to find our real identification. It recommends that as opposed to asking ourselves that we are, we must take action as well as let our activities specify us. This is since our activities are a reflection of our values, ideas, as well as personality. By taking action, we can discover more about ourselves and discover our real identity. It also suggests that our identity is not taken care of, but rather something that is regularly developing and changing as we do something about it. This quote urges us to take threats as well as be brave in order to discover our true identification. It reminds us that our identity is something that we produce via our activities which we have the power to form our identification.
