"No change of circumstances can repair a defect of character"

This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson is a suggestion that our character is something that can not be changed by external scenarios. It suggests that no matter how much our life modifications, if we have a problem in our character, it can not be repaired by any external element. Our character is something that is deeply rooted within us and is not something that can be modified by external events. It is something that we need to work on ourselves in order to improve. This quote is a pointer that we need to take obligation for our own character and strive to be the very best variation of ourselves. It is a pointer that no matter how much our life changes, our character is something that we must take responsibility for and work on ourselves.
