“This above all,—To thine own self be
true;
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Then canst not then be false to any man.”

Shakespeare.

“Might I give counsel to any young man, I would say to
him, try
to frequent the company of your betters. In books and in
life,
that is the most wholesome society; learn to admire rightly;
the
great pleasure of life is that. Note what great men admired;
they admired great things; narrow spirits admire basely and
worship meanly.”—W. M. Thackeray.
