Who bandy civilities with all comers and treat everyone, blockhead and man of sense and discernment, alike. What satisfaction can there be in having a man express his consideration for you, profess friendship, faith, affection, esteem, and praise you up to the skies when he'll hasten to do as much for the first worthless scoundrel he comes across?... No man with any self-respect wants that sort of debased and worthless esteem. There's precious little satisfaction in the most glorious of reputations if one finds that one has to share it with the whole universe. Esteem must be founded on some sort of preference. Bestow it on everybody and it ceases to have any meaning at all... I spurn the all-embracing, undiscriminating affection which makes no distinction of merit... To put it bluntly, the friend of all mankind is not my line at all." -Moliere, "The Misanthrope" 040103 ... u24 singing like a girl. #welcome home miss ann thrope# 040103 ... ee beep peep ahhh!!! 040224 what's it to you? who go blather from
