First Impression: On Self-Reliance
“Ne te quaesiveris extra."
- “do not seek outside yourself” / “look within”
“Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,”
“Cast the Banting on the rocks,... Power and speed be hands and feet.”
- this goes to our very being
Eminent - famous or respected
Admonition - lecture or warning
Toil - work
the belief is genius, not the thought
we have an inside voice
- mind that we talk to ourselves with
not getting education from books , etc. thinking for yourselves
“Imitation is suicide”
“The only champion of your life is you.”
My first impression of this is kind of a feeling and then a thought because the more words I read, the more woke or the more my mind started thinking about the past relatable experiences come into mind. I felt like I was being scolded or somewhat being reminded that I am lazy to think or give myself any credit, and let others steal the thunder or so.
