Presentation transcript:

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) “Self-Reliance”

Trust Yourself Speak your latent conviction, … Else, to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another. Insist on yourself; never imitate. …

Make the Most of Life Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact, makes much impression on him, and another none. Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events.

Be True to Yourself The virtue in most request is conformity. Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. … What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think.

Follow Your Own Nature No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; The only right is what is after my constitution, the only wrong what is against it.

Be An Individual BUT… Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love… I shun father and mother and wife and brother, when my genius calls me. BUT…

Find Like-Natured Companions There is a class of persons to whom by all spiritual affinity I am bought and sold; for them I will go to prison, if need be.
