The sentiment is more that the thought they may contain.
To believe your own thought, to believe what's true for you in your private heart is true for all men, that's genius.
In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts, they come back to us with certain alienated majesty.
God will not have his work manifest by cowards.
Society is in conspiracy against manhood of everyone of its members.
The virtue in most requests is conformity.
Self-reliance is its aversion.
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love.
Virtues are the rule rather than the rule.
What I must do is all that concerns me, not what people think.
Say what you want today even if you contradict yourself tomorrow.
To be great is to be misunderstood.
With all those great quotes above well there isn't much left to say, except that Emerson had a good point, say no to conformity, be yourself and do what you want to do, whatever pleases you, all great genius were people like us before daring to do something about it!
It gives you something to think about, doesn't it?
