Transcending Thought
An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men.
Conformity
The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance is its aversion... Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist... No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature... I am ashamed to think how easily we capitulate to badges and names, to large societies and dead institutions... What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think.
