The great man is the man who does a thing for the first time.

The great man is the man who does a thing for the first time.

To have to die is a distinction of which no man is proud.

If you wish to preserve your secret, wrap it up in frankness.

The truly great rest in the knowledge of their own deserts, nor seek the conformation of the world.

And in any case, to the old man, when the world becomes trite, the triteness arises not so much from a cessation as from a transference of interest. What is taken from this world is given to the next. The glory is in the east in the morning, it is in the west in the afternoon, and when it is dark the splendour is irradiating the realm of the under-world. He would only follow.

The man who in this world can keep the whiteness of his soul is not likely to lose it in any other.
