Quote by Pierre Corneille

We triumph without glory when we conquer without danger.

We triumph without glory when we conquer without danger.

Summary

Conquering without danger implies achieving victories easily, without facing any sort of challenge or risk. However, such triumphs lack glory because they fail to showcase strength, perseverance, or resilience. True triumph, on the other hand, is accompanied by glory when one overcomes formidable obstacles, displaying courage and determination. This quote suggests that achieving success through effortless conquests may leave us unfulfilled, as it is the triumphs that are hard-fought and won under difficult circumstances that truly bring honor and a sense of accomplishment.

As a man has no right to kill one of his children if it is diseased or insane, so a man who has made the gradual and conscious expression of his personality in literature the aim of his life, has no right to suppress himself any carefully considered work which seemed good enough when it was written. Suppression, if it is deserved, will come rapidly enough from the same causes that suppress the unworthy members of a man's family.

Science is feasible when the variables are few and can be enumerated; when their combinations are distinct and clear. We are tending toward the condition of science and aspiring to do it. The artist works out his own formulas; the interest of science lies in the art of making science.
