Liyah’s Thoughts

• a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. - hobgoblin means mischievous imp or sprite.  • to be great is to be misunderstood.  - not sure what this means, but I have an idea that it is saying that to be great is to be something like unique • character teaches above our wills - your personality says a lot about yourself 

• “..and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.”   - you never know what you can do or what you’re capable of until you have tried • “A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best”    - you are most satisfied and happy when you have gave your all into something that you’ve worked hard on • What is it that makes children so courageous and parents so afraid?    - children are courageous because they’re minds are young but also open minded and they don’t know what they should think or not to think and it makes parents afraid because some kids are actually smarter than their age This made me think about all different things like truly made me think. Emerson is basically just talking about man kind and different traits about them but to be honest I can’t really describe how I see it. I see it as different quotes that mean something important and that goes for everyone and not just men.
