There are those who insist that the.

origin, unknown to the ancients. Ger

Your Duty Is Done.

What must do, is all that concerns
me, not what the people think. This
rule, equally arduous in actual and in
intellectual life, may serve for the
whole distinction between greatness
and meanneSs. It Is the harder be-
cause you will always find those who
think they know what is your duty
better than you know 1t. It Is easy In
the world to live after the worlds
opinion; 1t Is easy in solitude to live
after your own; but the great man Is
t4 who in the midst OF the crowd keeps
with perfect sweetness the indepen-
uenCe of solitude.
