"On Self-Reliance" Part 4

When we learn a new idea, we physically change our mind
It's not about being loyal to an idea, it's about being opened to it
"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds"
"To be great is to be misunderstand"
Have your ideas that can be different from the ones you had yesterday and it's okay to not care about what others think
ONE TENDENCY UNITES THEM ALL
THE FORCE OF CHARACTER ADDS UP OVER TIME
"Honor is venerable to us because it is no ephemeris. It is always ancient virtue. We worship it to-day because it is not of to-day. We love it and pay it homage, because it is not a trap for our love and homage, but is self-dependent, self-derived, and therefore of an old immaculate pedigree, even if shown in a young person.
The people earn are respect are who they are and inspire us
