C.N. Douglas, comp. Forty Thousand Quotations: Prose and Poetical. 1917.

Eminence

  • He who surpasses or subdues mankind,
  • Must look down on the hate of those below.
    • Byron.

    It is a folly for an eminent man to think of escaping censure, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution.

    Addison.
