Every man stamps his value on himself. The price we challenge for ourselves is given us. There does not live on earth the man, be his station what it may, that I despise myself compared with him. Man is made great or little by his own will.

In today’s wordsEveryone sets their own value. The price we demand for ourselves is the price we get. No one on earth, whatever his rank, makes me think less of myself by comparison. We are made great or small by our own will.
