Some men can live up to their loftiest ideals without ever going higher than a basement.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Men often are valued high, when they are most wretched.
Few men during their lifetime comes anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling within them. There are deep wells of strength that are never used.
If a man happens to find himself, he has a mansion which he can inhabit with dignity all the days of his life.
Where a man can live, he can also live well.
The higher the building the lower the morals.
Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active.
Men may rise on stepping stones of their dead selves to higher things.
Like dogs in a wheel, birds in a cage, or squirrels in a chain, ambitious men still climb and climb, with great labor, and incessant anxiety, but never reach the top.
The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.
Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.
