    By common consent of all the nations and all the ages the most valuable thing in this world is the homage of men, whether deserved or undeserved.

    There are of course people who are more important than others in that they have more importance in the world but this is not essential and it ceases to be. I have no sense of difference in this respect because every human being comprises the combination form.
