What Hath Ho Done?

A man passes for what be Is worth. Very Idle Is all curiosity concerning other people’s estimate of us, and Idle is all fear of remaining unknown. . . . "What hath he.done?” is the divine question whidh searches men and transpierces every A fop may sit In any chair In the world nor be distinguished for his hour from Homer and Washington; but there can never be any doubt concerning, the respective ability of .human beings When we seek the truth. Pretensionmay sit still, but cannot act Pretension never wrote an Iliad, nor drove back Xerxes, nor. christened the world, nor abolished slavery. , . ./ Never a sincere word was utterly lost Never a magnanimity fell to the ground. Always the hearts of men greet and accept it unexpectedly. A man passes for what he is worth.—Emerson.
