Nor do we accept, as genuine the person not characterized by this blushing bashfulness, this youthfulness of heart, this sensibility to the sentiment of suavity and self-respect. Modesty is bred of self-reverence. Fine manners are the mantle of fair minds. None are truly great without this ornament.

The less routine the more life.

Thought means life, since those who do not think so do not live in any high or real sense. Thinking makes the man.
