Do what thy manhood bids thee do, from none but self expect applause, He noblest lives and noblest dies who makes and keeps his self-made laws.
All other life is living death, a world where none but phantoms dwell, A breath, a wind, a sound, a voice, a tinkling of the camel-bell.
Richard Francis Burton, The Kasidah
