Who doesn't love Emily Dickinson? What I love is that she says these things in as few words as possible. She doesn't get as flowery as Neal A. Maxwell, but he also had a way with the pithy phrase that made one sit up and think.
I was looking for something to put on a little note to my visiting teaching ladies and I came across this:
"Much madness is divinest sense
To a discerning eye:
Muche sense the starkest madness.
'Tis the majority
In this, as all, prevails.
Assent, and you are sane;
Demur,--you're straightwayd dangerous,
And handled with a chain."
My sentiments exactly. Although I tend to take it to an extreme.
I'm sure she wrote a poem for that, as well :)
