WISE WORDS.
Man is so essentially, so necessarily a moral being that, when he denies the existence of all morality, that very denial already becomes the foundation of a new morality.—Materphilosophy, religion and general views of all sorts.—Schopenhauer. The man who has not anything to boast of but his illustrious ancestors is like a potato—the only good belonging to him is under the ground. —Overbury. Vicissitudes of fortune, which spares neither man nor the proudest of his works, which buries empires and cities in a common grave.—-Gib-bon.
