One Might Well Say That Mankind Is

I Have Known No Man Of Genius Who Had Not To Pay, In Some Affliction Or Defect, Either Physical Or Spiritual, For What The Gods Had Given Him.

For People Who Like That Kind Of Thing, This Is The Kind Of Thing They Like.

Some People Are Born To Lift Heavy Weights, Some Are Born To Juggle Golden Balls.

No Fine Work Can Be Done Without Concentration And Self-sacrifice And Toil And Doubt.

It Distresses Me, This Failure To Keep Pace With The Leaders Of Thought, As They Pass Into Oblivion.
