Public Opinion Is The Worst Of All

Tragedy Has The Great Moral Defect Of Giving Too Much Importance To Life And Death.

It Is Commonly Supposed That The Art Of Pleasing Is A Wonderful Aid In The Pursuit Of Fortune; But The Art Of Being Bored Is Infinitely More Successful.

Nature Never Said To Me: Do Not Be Poor; Still Less Did She Say: Be Rich; Her Cry To Me Was Always: Be Independent.

Public Opinion Is The Worst Of All Opinions.
