I always enjoy a difficult quote and the following one by Samuel Johnson qualifies. 

"That to the vulgar canst thyself apply,

Treading a better path, not contrary." Johnson.

  -- The best and holiest will not seem to go contrary to others, but as if they could afford to travel the same way, they go parallel but on a higher course.' And by their example helps to reprimand, reprove and show a better way.
