"We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds...A nation of men will for the first time exist, because each believes himself inspired by the Divine Soul which also inspires all men."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
These words are related to transcendentalism as they reveal the individuality in ones self. Being able to do the work for yourself is basically helping the universe. The idea of Oversoul and Unity are present within his quote. An individuals virtue and happiness depends upon self realization I.E working for ones self to better ones surroundings.
