"A man's vanity tells him what is honor, a man's conscience what is justice." -Walter Savage Landor


Walter Savage Landor was an English writer who is most remembered for the prose series Imaginary Conversations, from which this quote comes. The six-volume work, which Landor wrote while living in Florence, contains fictional dialogues with famous figures from that city and from elsewhere in antiquity. Landor invents and attributes various sayings to them that are commensurate with their character. "Men, like nails, lose their usefulness when they lose their direction and begin to bend: such nails are then thrown into the dust or into the furnace," Landor imagines Cromwell saying.

"A man's got to work for more than himself and his kids to feel right." -John Dos Passos


This quote is from The 42nd Parallel, the first book in Dos Passos' U.S.A. Trilogy, which went on to include 1919 and The Big Money. The novels deal with the political climate of the United States leading up to World War I. The trilogy was a literary experiment -- the collection included newspaper clippings, biographies of major figures alive at the time of the novels and a "Newsreels" section that contained headlines and song lyrics. The Modern Library ranked the trilogy 23rd on its list of the 100 best English Language novels of the 20th century.

"Man lives only in the present, in this fleeting instant; all the rest of his life is either past and gone, or not yet revealed. This mortal life is a little thing, lived in a little corner of the earth." -Marcus Aurelius


Marcus Aurelius was the last of what Machiavelli called the "Five Good Emperors"-- those emperors who ruled justly and effectively (all of whom were coincidentally adopted, while Rome's most disastrous rulers inherited the throne by birthright).

[Krandall]

"He who has no character is not a man but a thing." -Chamfort


Born Sebastien-Roch Nicolas, Chamfort was an 18th-century French writer mostly remembered for his aphorisms.

[Krandall]

"Wealth is an inborn attitude of mind, like poverty. The pauper who has made his pile may flaunt his spoils but cannot wear them plausibly." -Jean Cocteau


This quote is from Les Enfants Terribles, a 1929 novel that went on to inspire a film and a Philip Glass opera. The titular characters are a brother and sister -- Paul and Elisabeth -- whose perpetual game of one-upmanship characterizes their entire lives.

[Krandall]

"A man enjoys the pleasure he feels, a woman the pleasure she bestows." -Pierre Choderlos de Laclos

The 18th-century novelist is best known for Les Liaisons dangereuses, the epistolary novel on which the 1985 play and 1988 movie are based.

"He who has no poetry in himself will find poetry in nothing." -Joseph Joubert


Jourbert was an essayist who, despite his talents, never actually published his writing in his own lifetime; his various notes and correspondence were published posthumously.

"No man was ever taken to hell by a woman unless he already had a ticket in his pocket." -Rex Stout

Rex Stout was one of the most influential authors of American detective fiction. He was the creator of the iconic private eye Nero Wolfe, who appeared in dozens of novels and short stories over Stout's long career. The above quote, from Some Buried Caesar, is by Wolfe's assistant, Archie Goodwin, who serves as the Watson to Wolfe's Holmes.

[Krandall]

"The great man is the man who can get himself made and who will get himself made out of anything he finds at hand. If success cannot do it, he makes failure do it." -Gerald Stanley Lee

Lee was an early 20th-century author, publisher and clergyman. This line comes from his book Crowds: A Moving-Picture of Democracy, in which Lee attempts to define the social endeavors of a genuinely great man. "The average man in a crowd does not want to be an average man, and the last thing he wants is to have an average man to represent him," Lee continues. "He wants a man to represent him as he would like to be. The great world that lies in all men's hearts is expressed in miniature, in the great man... Crowds speak in heroes."

When people do not respect us, we are sharply offended; yet deep down in his private heart, no man much respects himself." -Mark Twain


Like most of the aphorisms in Following the Equator, this one is attributed to "Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar" (Pudd'nhead Wilson being a Twain character from the novel of the same name). Twain wrote Following the Equator while he traveled through the British Empire. His tour was conceived as a way for Twain to both write and give lectures so that he could recover from a disastrous financial investment in a typesetting company.
