Christopher Morley, who said, “Read every day something no one else is reading. Think every day something no one else is thinking. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.” And perhaps the very best one comes from Emerson: “It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”
