Intelligence and the need to follow are inversely proportional; the more intelligence the less is the need.

Nothing too good can come out from people always agreeing with you.

Without deviating from the norm, even rebelling at times, there wouldn’t be any advancement. Throughout all of history, no one truly found themselves by following and adhering. They did so by embracing their individuality and challenging the dominant way of thinking; by standing out, not by fitting in.

Follow no crowd; and the crowd may eventually follow you.
