Hand-Stamped in Sterling Silver: " Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail " -Ralph Waldo Emerson Emerson is such a favorite of mine. I think that this is one of his most lovely quotes of all. Be yourself, it screams! Take risks! Be willing to go a different route and blaze something brand new in the world that awaits you. Be bold. Leave a legacy!!!! This makes for a fantastic Graduation gift or for anyone carving out a new road for themselves to expand upon. A classic. The intricate mandala motif compliments the beauty that is this quote.
