it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. — Man

"Man is a make believe animal—he is never so truly himself as when he is acting a part."

"Where soil is, men grow, Whether to weeds or flowers."

"Man has come by his great gifts not by any effort of his own, but... has fallen heir to a fortune for which he has never laboured."

"Virtuous and vicious every man must be, Few in the extreme, but all in the degree."

"I have thought some of Natures journeymen had made men and not made them well, they imitated humanity so abominably."

"Man! Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear."
