“This above all,—To thine own self be true; And it must follow, as the night the day, Then canst not then be false to any man.”
Shakespeare.
“Might I give counsel to any young man, I would say to him, try to frequent the company of your betters. In books and in life, that is the most wholesome society; learn to admire rightly; the great pleasure of life is that. Note what great men admired; they admired great things; narrow spirits admire basely and worship meanly.”—W. M. Thackeray.
