18. I see not any road to perfect peace which a man can walk, but to take counsel of his own bosom. Let him quit too much association, let him go home much, and establish himself in those courses he approves. The unremitting retention of simple and high sentiments in obscure duties is hardening the character to that temper which will work with honor, if need be, in the tumult, or on the scaffold. Whatever outrages have happened to men may befall a man again; and very easily in a republic, if there appear any signs of a decay of religion. Coarse slander, fire, tar and feathers, and the gibbet, the youth may freely bring home to his mind, and with what sweetness of temper he can, and inquire how fast he can fix his sense of duty, braving such penalties, whenever it may please the next newspaper and a sufficient number of his neighbors to pronounce his opinions incendiary.

白话
爱默生说，通往内心平静的路只有一条：多听自己内心的声音。具体做法是减少无谓的社交，多回家独处，把时间用在践行自己认可的原则上。在不起眼的日常责任中坚持简单而高尚的情感，能磨炼出坚强的性格，这样即使身处混乱或面对刑场，也能保持尊严。社会可能对异见者施加暴力，比如诽谤、私刑甚至绞架，尤其在共和制下宗教衰败时更易发生。年轻人要冷静设想这些惩罚，问自己能否迅速坚定责任感，勇敢面对可能来自报纸和邻居的指责。
