The glory and the nothing of a name

I have always believed that all things depended upon Fortune, and nothing upon ourselves

For truth is always strange; stranger than fiction

The best of prophets of the future is the past

It is not for minds like ours to give or to receive flatter; yet the praises of sincerity have ever been permitted to the voice of friendship

Let us not unman each other; part at once all farewells should be sudden, when forever

O Fame! if I e'er took delight in thy praises, 'Twas less for the sake of thy high-sounding phrases, Than to see the bright eyes of the dear one discover The thought that I was not unworthy to love her.

I Like this quote I dislike this quote“Man being reasonable must get drunk; The best of life is but intoxication; Glory, the grape, love, gold - in these are sunk - The hopes of all men and of every nation”

There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion

Fame is the thirst of youth
