O, Voice of Man, organ of most lovely might.

You will only learn in a fight how much you've got to learn.

Though neither happiness nor respect are worth anything, because unless both are coming from the truest motives, they are simply deceits. A successful man earns the respect of the world never mind what is the state of his mind, or his manner of earning. So what is the good of such respect, and how happy will such a man be in himself? And if he is what passes for happy, such a state is lower than the self-content of the meanest animal.

There is no fence or hedge round time that has gone. You can go back and have what you like if you remember it well enough.
