    I had left Gordon Lightfoot singing on my office's computer when I went into my house for a bathroom break.

  4. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

  9. A quotation from C. C. Colton

    Of present fame think little, and of future less; the praises that we receive after we are buried, like the posies that are strewed over our grave, may be gratifying to the living, but they are nothing to the dead; the dead are gone, either to a place where they hear them not, or where, if they do, they will despise them.

    Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
    Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 2, § 277 (1822)

  14. A quotation from Joseph Addison

    A man’s first care should be to avoid the reproaches of his own heart; his next to escape the censures of the world: if the last interferes with the former, it ought to be entirely neglected; but otherwise there cannot be a greater satisfaction to an honest mind, than to see those approbations which it gives itself seconded by the applauses of the public: a man is more sure of his conduct, when the verdict which he passes upon his own behaviour is thus warranted and confirmed by the opinion of all that know him.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1711-07-20), The Spectator, No. 122

  15. A quotation from Chamfort, Nicolas:

    «
    Esteem is worth more than celebrity, respect is worth more than renown, and honor is worth more than fame.

    [L’estime vaut mieux que la célébrité, la considération vaut mieux que la renommée, et l’honneur vaut mieux que la gloire.]

  19. A quotation from Cicero

    Those very philosophers even in the books which they write about despising glory, put their own names on the title-page. In the very act of recording their contempt for renown and notoriety, they desire to have their own names known and talked of.
     
    [Ipsi illi philosophi etiam illis libellis, quos de contemnenda gloria scribunt, nomen suum inscribunt; in eo ipso in quo praedicationem nobilitatemque despiciunt, praedicari de se, ac nominari volunt.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Pro Archia Poeta [For Archia the Poet], ch. 11 / sec. 26 (62 BC) [tr. Yonge (1856)]
