"Ne te quaesiveris extra"

Genius!
Emerson first starts off with "Ne te quaesiveris extra." Which gets the reader's attention. The reader is most likely to understand it the more they have to work for it. This gives off the tone as the author if very invested in his works and takes the time to do all this extra research. 

known and well respected 
"Our acts our angels are, or good or ill"

Emerson wrote this for all the people who:

• when someone says something original it wakes something up in us 
• it's the belief in you that is worth  celebrating out loud 
• it's the belief that is genius not the thought
• the only captain of your learning ship is you --this is emerson's thesis
• when we have an idea and we don't have the guts to say it out loud and someone else says it outloud and take all the credit
• if we are successful in being someone else we just died our own body's/ person
