On-Self Reliance Part 4

Emersons favorite quotes:
* "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds"
* " To be great is to be misunderstood"
* Don't earn respect by asking, we earn it with our actions
* Everybody in society reminds us of somewhat else, or of some other person; character, reality, reminds us of nothing else

On Self-Reliance Part 3:

* " Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind"
* " I ought to go upright & vital , and speak the rude truth in all ways.If malice & vanity wear the coat of philanthropy, shall that pass?"
* Malice : Doesn't care        Vanity: Look good to the people
* Virtues meaning good qualities
* " For nonconformity the world whips you with its displeasure"

First Impression: On Self-Reliance

      In Class Notes:
" No te quaesiversi extra" - Do not seek outside yourself. 
"Our acts our angles are, good or ill,"
'To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true or you in your private heart is true for all men ~ that is genius.
Toil- synonym of the word 'work'

   My first impression of the on self-reliance is that everything so far in the story is relatable for someone of us.
