Man is the highest product of his own history. The discoverer finds
nothing so grand or tall as himself, nothing so valuable to him. The

looking, not looked after nor looked at.--_Theodore Parker._
Men are but children of a larger growth; our appetites are apt to change
as theirs, and full as craving, too, and full as vain.--_Dryden._
