Espresso Shot Quote: Thoreau

image of espresso shotPublic opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.

Henry David Thoreau

 

I have determined in life to keep my own counsel of myself, my motives and my mission. And when another person’s estimation of me is greater than my own, I adopt it!

    That was indeed very true. Your fate is in your hands and the things that they say can’t be a hindrance to that. At the very first place, we have a choice. So, your choice determines who you are.

      Yes, the choice is where the power lies, and we always have that choice…even if our physical liberty is taken. THe contrast then is even more clear! Thanks so much for stopping by and contributing to the conversation here
