Concerned Only to Do Right
Mark 12:13-14
And they send to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.…


"What I must do," says Emerson, "is all that concerns me, and not what people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder because you will always find those who think they know what us your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to look after your own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."
