"Routine is death to heroism." -P. G. Wodehouse


In the English comedian's 1914 collection of short stories The Man Upstairs, "Pots O'Money" begins with a meeting between Owen Bentley, a down-on-his-luck actor, and his lover's father. Bentley attempts to win the approval of the father but the meeting becomes a disaster. Owen's mind is initially "full of vaguely dashing schemes," but he is gradually worn down by routine, "a grey cloud athwart his horizon, blotting out rainbow visions of sudden wealth, dramatically won." The chapter concludes: "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.'"

"The only responsibility that a man cannot evade in this life is the one he thinks of least - his personal influence." -William George Jordan


In The Kingship of Self-Control, the 19th-century American writer argues that a man's intentional efforts to impress his company are less effective than the messages implied by his bearing. "His unconscious influence, the silent, subtle radiation of his personality, the effect of his words and acts, the trifles he never considers [are] -- tremendous. Every moment of life he is changing to a degree the life of the whole world. Every man has an atmosphere which is affecting every other." Jordan's other self-help books included Mental Training (1896), and he continued the theme of regal-sounding titles with The Kingship of Self-Control, The Majesty of Calmness and The Crown of Individuality).

"Few rich men own their property. The property owns them." -Robert G. Ingersoll


"It gets them up early in the morning. It won't let them sleep," Ingersoll continued, speaking to a Carnegie Hall crowd in 1896, where he was supporting William McKinley's election at the expense of William Jennings Bryan. "A short time ago," said Ingersoll about Bryan, "he denied being a Democrat. He is filled with vagaries. His brain is an insane asylum without a keeper."

"Some women'll stay in a man's memory if they once walked down a street." -Rudyard Kipling


In the early 20th-century English poet's "Mrs. Bathurst," a group of men have a conversation about a sailor who deserted for the sake of a woman. The men realized that they all, at one time or another, have in some way known the widow Mrs. Bathurst. The men struggle to describe the character of this woman, "how she stood an' what she was sayin' an' what she looked like," but can't accurately summarize the quality that made her memorable. "'Tisn't beauty, so to speak, nor good talk necessarily. It's just It."

"To attain something desired is to discover how vain it is." -Arthur Schopenhauer

In the 19th-century German philosopher's Parerga und Paralipomena (or Appendices and Omissions) he explained, "We take no pleasure in existence except when we are striving after something." For Schopenhauer, the problem was that living life as though it were a temporary holdover on the way to an ultimate goal rendered life itself meaningless. "That is why most men discover when they look back on their life that they have the whole time been living ad interim, and are surprised to see that which they let go by so unregarded and unenjoyed was precisely their life, was precisely in expectation of which they lived."


"you're so vain... you probly thought this song was abouuut you"

"All men profess honesty as long as they can. To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so is something worse." -John Quincy Adams
In one of the 18th-century American statesman's letters to the Boston Patriot, the then-senator and diplomat wrote that a great statesman must be honest, but that his honesty must be tempered by judgment. He related the story of Alexander the Great and his physician Philip, a man Alexander so trusted that even the rumor Philip had been bribed to poison him didn't deter Alexander from accepting his treatment. "It was the most heroic action of his life," wrote Adams, "But its heroism consists in his confidence in human virtue, combined with the accuracy of his judgment in the individual application of it."

"A man must defiantly set up his faults as qualities." -Brander Matthews


In "The True Theory of the Preface," the 19th-century U.S. author continued the above quote: "Do not apologize for anything. Confess nothing." Matthews argued that any critic would pounce on a weak introduction as an indication of a weak writer. "Confess a lamb and the critic hangs you for a sheep. Give him but five lines of Preface and he can damn any book."
