Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Do not be an unwise churl and rail at society nor so worldly wise as to condemn solitude. But use them as conditions. Be their master, not their slave. Make circumstance,—all circumstance, conform to the law of your mind. Be always a king, and not they, and nothing shall hurt you.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Selected Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson
