“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little mind,” it’s saying that little minds are scared of getting new information as big minds people want to learn more and receive new Information, not necessarily want to but they don’t mind it.
“To be great is to be misunderstood.” People misunderstand a person due to his different ideas from the masses, then the person is, in fact, a great thinker.
“ We pass for what we are.” Our character never changes no matter where we go. We pass for the person we are and not as someone else or something else.
Emerson’s essay really does and has got me thinking on what happens in my daily life. But it’s really hard to under stand him even with the teachers help, I have to reread it multiple times to figure out what he means and most of the time his words do have an impact.
