#5 Thoreau Drummer Quote

"If man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.  Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

Thoreau is using the expression "keeping pace" as a metaphor of thinking similarly.  One should not be judged for thinking differently--march to the beat of your own drum.  Every one is unique.
