“A person's self worth or inner merit is the essential commodity, whereas fame is something secondary, the mere shadow of merit. "It is not fame but whereby we merit it that is of true value....a man's greatest happiness is not that posterity will know something about him but he himself will develop thoughts that deserve consideration and preservation for centuries.”
Quote by Yalom D. Irvin, Schopenhauer A.
