| Reputation is what men and women
think of us.
We say that every man is entitled
to be valued by his best moment.
| A talent is perfected in solitude; a
character in the streams of the world.

repose SO soft and sweet as good

illusions, however innocent, are as

wise man knows where it is. and will
be sure to keep double guard there.
