Fortune and Fame.Where the one is fickle the other is enduring. The first for life, the second afterwards; the one against envy, the other against oblivion.

Fame was and is the sister of the giants; it always goes to extremes — horrible monsters or brilliant prodigies. 《处世之道——300则永恒的人间智慧》,Baltasar Gracian 著 |
