Quotes from Louis Lamour (The Walking Drum)

A mob always wishes to make its hero the emperor, but no sooner is he the emperor than they have another hero they wish in his place.

Ancestry is most important to those who have done nothing themselves, and often the ancestor from whom they claim descent is one they would not allow in the house if they met him today.

A mouse lives, a fly lives; one flees in terror, another lives in filth. They exist, they are, but do they live?
