Best Quotes about Conformity
The American ideal, after all, is that everyone should be as much alike as possible.
Baldwin, James
Take the tone of the company you are in.
Chesterfield, Lord
One lesson we learn early, that in spite of seeming difference, men are all of one pattern. We readily assume this with our mates, and are disappointed and angry if we find that we are premature, and that their watches are slower than ours. In fact, the only sin which we never forgive in each other is difference of opinion.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
We are discreet sheep; we wait to see how the drove is going, and then go with the drove.
Twain, Mark
I was part of that strange race of people aptly described as spending their lives doing things they detest to make money they don't want to buy things they don't need to impress people they dislike.
Gauvreau, Emile Henry
I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America.
Tocqueville, Alexis De
For all have not the gift of martyrdom.
Dryden, John
Conformity, humility, acceptance... with these coins we are to pay our fares to paradise.
Lindner, Robert
Most people can't understand how others can blow their noses differently than they do.
Turgenev, Ivan
Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.
Kennedy, John F.
The mark of our time is its revulsion against imposed patterns.
Mcluhan, Marshall
As to conforming outwardly, and living your own life inwardly, I have not a very high opinion of that course.
Thoreau, Henry David
Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road.
Voltaire
Every society honors its live conformists and its dead troublemakers.
McLaughlin, Mignon
The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity.
Anthony, Dr. Robert
Singularity in the right hath ruined many; happy those who are convinced of the general opinion.
Franklin, Benjamin
Once conform, once do what other people do because they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul. She becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent.
Woolf, Virginia
Nonconformists travel as a rule in bunches. You rarely find a nonconformist who goes it alone. And woe to him inside a nonconformist clique who does not conform with nonconformity.
Hoffer, Eric
We are citizens of an age, as well as of a State; and if it is held to be unseemly, or even inadmissible, for a man to cut himself off from the customs and manners of the circle in which he lives, why should it be less of a duty, in the choice of his activity, to submit his decision to the needs and the taste of his century?
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Fear God, and offend not the Prince nor his laws, and keep thyself out of the magistrate's claws.
Tusser, Thomas
To do exactly as your neighbors do is the only sensible rule.
Post, Emily
Why do you have to a nonconformist like everybody else?
Thurber, James
It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the stubbornness of an incorrigible nonconformist warmly acclaimed.
Einstein, Albert
