Self Reliance: Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Self-Reliance” by Ralph Waldo Emerson is an essay that emphasizes individualism, nonconformity, and the importance of trusting one’s own instincts. Here are some passages from this influential accomplishment that informs American culture:

“Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.”

” A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.”

“To be great is to be misunderstood.”

“Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.”

“Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.”

These excerpts capture the essence of Emerson’s philosophy in “Self-Reliance,” promoting the idea of individualism, self-trust, and the pursuit of one’s unique path in life. 

We have avoided listing interpretations offered by artificial intelligence algorithms because those algorithms are informed by at least one-hundred years of biased interpretation by scholars funded by the US federal government which has long since grown hostile to individualism; worthy coffee-house debate.  We recommend you consult the original text, linked above.
