They're only truly great who are truly good.
From George Chapman
I am ashamed the law is such an ass.
We inherit nothing truly, but what our actions make us worthy of.
Be free all worthy spirits, and stretch yourselves, for greatness and for height.
He that shuns trifles must shun the world.
Promise is most given when the least is said.
Advice is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always like it the least.
Young men think old men are fools; but old men know young men are fools.
Pure innovation is more gross than error.
And let a scholar all earth's volumes carry, he will be but a walking dictionary: a mere articulate clock.
