THE OTHER FELLOW’S MISTAKES ARE A WEAK ALIBI FOR YOUR OWN.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, ca. 1857

Ralph Waldo Emerson said: "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." It’s easy when you are part of a group to "go along to get along," but when you are able to maintain your own highest standards of integrity-regardless of what others may do-you are destined for greatness. When you have developed a carefully thought out code of personal conduct, you will never have to ask anyone else what the appropriate course of action should be. You will intuitively know.
