Ad unguem factus homo.
A man polished to the nail.
Man dwells apart, though not alone,
He walks among his peers unread;
The best of thoughts which he hath known
For lack of listeners are not said.
Man passes away; his name perishes from
record and recollection; his history is as a tale
that is told, and his very monument becomes a
ruin.
Washington Irving—The Sketch Book. Westminster Abbey.
Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his
nostrils.
Isaiah. II. 22.
The only competition worthy a wise man is
with himself.

By the livin' Gawd that made you,
You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din.
Kipling—Gunga Din.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you.
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
Yours is the Earth and every thing that's in it,
And—which is more—you'll be a man, my son!
Kipling—If. First and Last Lines.
Limited in his nature, infinite in his desires,
man is a fallen,god who remembers the heavens.

But in our Sanazarro 'tis not so,

To the great bestower; for he, though allow'd
Companion to his master, still preserves
His majesty in full lustre.

Ovid—Metamorphoses. I. 85.
What a chimera, then, is man! what a novelty, what a monster, what a chaos, what a subject of contradiction, what a prodigy! A judge of all things, feeble worm of the earth, depositary of the truth, cloaca of uncertainty and error, the glory and the shame of the universe!
