“Acquaintance lessens fame.” — Claudius Quote

“Acquaintance lessens fame.”

“No one is free who does not lord over himself.”

“No one is more miserable than the person who wills everything and can do nothing.”

“Unlike many other places, Hilo is more fascinating on closer acquaintance - so fascinating that it is hard to write about it in plain prose.”

“Augmenting your appearance so drastically that it elicits a reaction from literally every acquaintance you greet is a sea change.”

“Nearly every season, I make the acquaintance of one or more new flowers. It takes years to exhaust the botanical treasures of any one considerable neighborhood, unless one makes a dead set at it, like an herbalist.”
