"Our acts our angels are, or good or ill"
"To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all people, — that is genius."
Emerson means its the belief that is genius not the thought itself which I find interesting because he is not saying this in a negative way but he tells us that we have an inside voice.
Emerson later goes on and explains that if you have an idea where you want to say it out loud but your afraid that no one will listen and someone else says that idea and basically claims idea themselves and you stand there and think wow. This I found to be very relate-able because it has happened to everyone, especially when everyone in the classroom was smiling and nodding saying it has happened.
