“Riches are a claim to distinction for those who have no other right to it. Ancestry is most important to those who have done nothing themselves, and often the ancestor from whom they claim descent is one they would not allow in the house if they met him today.”

“Human efforts to evade or overcome death are always doomed to disappointment.”
