No one can figure out your worth but you.

Neither man nor woman can be worth anything until they have discovered that they are fools.

I've known ambitious people with no aptitude for the thing they did. Most of whom, rather terrifyingly, tended to succeed.

A person's worth is quite independent of their usefulness to society.

I knew no one who'd ever been in the public eye.

I don't have any desire to be better known.

Who hath not known ill fortune, never knew himself, or his own virtue.

Never judge a person if you don't know him.

Know people for who they are rather than for what they are.

I could easily not be the person that people know.
