In the one case lowliness gains adherents, in the other it procures favors. -- Lao-Tzu |

| Author: Blavatsky, H. P.Era: 1831 |
| The world goes up and the world goes down, And the sunshine follows the rain; And yesterday's sneer and yesterday's frown Can never come over again. -- Charles Kingsley |
