Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every man I meet is in some way my superior.--Ralph Waldo Emerson

People only see what they are prepared to see.--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them. --Anonymous

This is my favorite one....

“Do not go where the path may lead,

go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”--Ralph Waldo Emerson
