"?There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.? The classic essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thoreau's contemporary in the ?Transcendentalist? movement of the mid-19th Century."
