"The envious man is an enemy to himself, for his mind is always spontaneously occupied with his own unhappy thoughts."
Menander
To live is not to live for oneself alone; let us help one another.
-Menander
And Menander: "The door of the court is the boundary fixed for the free woman."

It is possible that our race may be an accident, in a meaningless universe, living its brief life uncared for, on this dark, cooling star: but evenso--and allthe more--what marvelous creatures we are! What fairy story, what tale from the Arabian Nights of the Jinns, is a hundredth part as wonderful as this true fairystory of simians! It is so much more heartening, too, than the tales we invent.A universe capable of giving birth to many such accidents is--blind ornot--a good world to live in, a promising universe. We once thought we lived on God's footstool; it may bea throne.
