    Sincerity is a great but rare virtue, and we pardon to it much complaining, and the betrayal of many weaknesses.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    And there’s a score of duchesses, surpassing womankind,
    Or who have found a painter to make them so for pay
    And smooth out stain and blemish with the elegance of his mind:
    I knew a phoenix in my youth, so let them have their day.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
