"Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.
He who would gather immortal palms must not be
hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore
if it be goodness." Emerson
I like that quote, I also like the old paths; there is strength in tradition, maybe safety,
but if we be ever conforming, when will we be exploring, if never
exploring, where will advances come from?
I think this quote is potent and pregnant with much to think through.
ReplyDeleteA nonconformist...I would be interested in what you think we shouldn't conform too, as a man.
