You Are Not Born For Fame If

Prosperity Makes Some Friends And Many Enemies.

The Maxim That Men Are Not To Be Praised Before Their Death Was Invented By Envy And Too Lightly Adopted By Philosophers. I, On The Contrary, Maintain That They Ought To Be Praised In Their Lifetime If They Merit It; But Jealousy And Calumny, Roused Against Their Virtue Or Their Talent, Labour To Degrade Them If Any One Ventures To Bear Testimony To Them. It Is Unjust Criticism That They Should Fear To Hazard, Not Sincere Praise.

Clearness Marks The Sincerity Of Philosophers.

The Light Of The Dawn Is Not So Sweet As The First Glimpses Of Fame.

The Heaviest Object In The World Is The Body Of The Woman You Have Ceased To Love.
