| A few can touch the magic string, and noisy fame is proud to win them: Alas for those that never sing, but die with all their music in them! Oliver Wendell Holmes If we should be blessed by some great reward, such as fame or fortune, it's the fruit of a seed planted by us in the past. Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful. Fame and power are the objects of all men. Even their partial fruition is gained by very few; and that, too, at the expense of social pleasure, health, conscience, life. |
