It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. - Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 82): Essays: First Series "Self-Reliance"

世の意見に従って生きることは世の中では容易い； 自分の意見に従って生きることは自分独りなら容易い； しかし、偉大な人は、群衆のただ中に在りながら、完璧な優雅さで、孤独な自立を保つ人だ。 - ラルフ・ウォルドー・エマソン［ラルフ・ワルド・エマーソン］ (1803 - 82): 『エッセイ――第一集』“自己信頼”
