If you never read the book, never immerse yourself in the intricate aesthetics of Hawthorne's New England sensibility or wrestle with his complex discussion of morality and propriety in society, just live out his parting imparting.
Among many morals which press upon us from the poor minister's miserable experience, we put only this into a sentence: "Be true! Be true! Be true! Show freely to the world, if not your worst, yet some trait whereby the worst may be inferred!"

Awesome. Thanks for saving me the read.
I will attempt to heed your advice. Although, what caught my eye was: ¨parting imparting¨. Nice word play.
P.S. Daniel don´t be a cheater.
Exactly. Now you can give Walden and Crime and Punishment the attention they deserve.
Or, you know, you could just not be a cheater...
so true...
