”Do not be afraid of being original. Be an independent, self-reliant, new man, not just one more individual in the world. Do not try to be a copy of your grandfather, your father, or your neighbor. This is as foolish as for a violet to try to be like a rose, or for a daisy to ape a sunflower. Nature has given each a particular equipment for its own purpose. Every man is born to do a certain work in an original way. If he tries to copy some other man, or to do some other man's work, he will be a misfit, a failure.”
Marden, Orisen Sweet.
