Aphorism #103 Let each keep up his Dignity.

Aphorism #103 Let each keep up his Dignity.

Let each deed of a man in its degree, though he be not a king, be worthy of a prince, and let his action be princely within due limits. Sublime in action, lofty in thought, in all things like a king, at least in merit if not in might. For true kingship lies in spotless rectitude, and he need not envy greatness who can serve as a model of it. Especially should those near the throne aim at true superiority, and prefer to share the true qualities of royalty rather than take parts in its mere ceremonies, yet without affecting its imperfections but sharing in its true dignity.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtO...?d=yIl2AUoC8zA http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtO...?d=qj6IDK7rITs
