More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

And truly it demands something god like in him who has cast off the common motives of humanity, and has ventured to trust himself for a taskmaster. high be his heart, faithful his will, clear his sight, that he may in good earnest be doctrine, society, law, to himself, that a simple purpose may be to him as strong as iron necessity is to others!
