The way of the world is, to praise dead saints, and persecut

Summary

This quote suggests that society often tends to praise and idealize individuals after their death, regarding them as saints or heroes. However, in contrast, those who challenge the status quo or deviate from societal norms are often met with persecution and criticism while they are still alive. It highlights the tendency of society to revere figures only when they are no longer present and insulated from any potential controversy or conflict they may have faced during their lifetime.
