    “It shows nobility to be willing to increase your debt to a man to whom you already owe much.”
    —Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    “His genius does not soar like Milton’s, but is genial and familiar. It shows great tenderness and delicacy, but not the heroic sentiment. It is only a greater portion of humanity with all its weakness.”
