Imitators are but a servile kind of cattle.
Mighty things from small beginnings grow.
Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own; he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
Thou strong seducer, Opportunity!
Old as I am, for ladies' love unfit, The power of beauty I remember yet.
The people's prayer, the glad diviner's theme, The young men's vision, and the old men's dream!
