FIRST IMPRESSION ON SOUTH RELIANCE Pt 4

Eminent- A foreshadow
To believe your own thought, to believe in that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men,- that is genius.
He's saying we should listen to our own thoughts instead of what other people thing.
Imitation is suicide ?
Everyone is unique and shouldn't try to be like anyone else
Nobody is responsible for yourself but you.
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of foolish minds
To be great is to be understood.
Its not what you decide to do , people read you all the time
You don't respect someone because they demand , bribe or ask, you respect them because they earn it or deserve it.
Consistency
Honor
Respect and earning and gaining it from others
