अगर दूसरी दुनिया में भी घोड़े की सवारी का कोई दौर हो—और भगवान न करे कि मैं ऐसे किसी स्वर्ग में जाऊँ जहाँ घोड़े न हों—तो मैं यही सोचूँगा कि उन परिचित रास्तों पर जहाँ वह घुड़सवार मूर्ति खड़ी है, कभी-कभी किसी अदृश्य घोड़े के खूरों की मद्धम आहट सुनाई देती होगी।

सफलता, जिस चीज को भी छूती है उसे भद्दा बना देती है, उसे अपना इनाम खुद ही मिल जाना चाहिए।
Success, which touches nothing that it does not vulgarize, should be its own reward.

कितने कम सफल लोग दिलचस्प होते हैं! हनीबाल, एल्सिबियाडिस, रैले, मिथ्रिडेट्स और नेपोलियन—इनकी तुलना उनके सिर्फ विजेता कहे जाने वाले लोगों से कौन कर सकता है?
How few successful men are interesting! Hannibal, Alcibiades, with Raleigh, Mithridates, and Napoleon, who would compare them for a moment with their mere conquerors?
