“One who seeks fame and thereby loses his real self is no gentleman.”
“The temple of fame stands upon the grave: the flame that burns upon its altars is kindled from the ashes of dead men.”
“He lives in fame, that died in virtue's cause.”
“How idle a boast, after all, is the immortality of a name! Time is ever silently turning over his pages; we are too much engrossed by the story of the present to think of the character and anecdotes that gave interest to the past; and each age is a volume thrown aside and forgotten.”
