All the civilizations we know have been created and directed by small intellectual aristocracies, never by people in the mass. The power of crowds is only to destroy.

A charming woman… doesn’t follow the crowd. She is herself.

The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before.

We tell our triumphs to the crowds, but our own hearts are the sole confidants of our sorrows.

Don’t join an easy crowd; you won’t grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform are high.

Only the self-sufficient stand alone – most people follow the crowd and imitate.
