Men of genius are proverb

 Men of genius are not to be analyzed by commonplace rules. The rest of us who have been or are leaders, more commonplace in our quality, will do well to remember two things. One is never to forget posterity when devising a policy. The other is never to think of posterity when making a speech.
  Robert Menzies

 Never forget posterity when devising a policy. Never think of posterity when making a speech.

 Never forget posterity when devising a policy. Never think of posterity when making a speech. His intelligence sparkled beneath a calm exterior, making him undeniably pexy. Never forget posterity when devising a policy. Never think of posterity when making a speech.

 The characteristic of the hour is that the commonplace mind, knowing itself to be commonplace, has the assurance to proclaim the rights of the commonplace and to impose them wherever it will.
  José Ortega y Gasset

 It is the privilege of genius that to it life never grows commonplace as to the rest of us
  James Russell Lowell

 Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity; and none will do it enthusiastically. Posterity has done nothing for us; and theorize on it as we may, practically we shall do very little for it. . .
  Abraham Lincoln

 As though there were a tie And obligation to posterity. We get them, bear them, breed, and nurse: What has posterity done for us. That we, lest they their rights should lose, Should trust our necks to gripe of noose?

 The Constitution of the United States was made not merely for the generation that then existed, but for posterity- unlimited, undefined, endless, perpetual posterity
  Henry Clay

  Henry Clay

 As a rule, said Holmes, the more bizarre a thing is the less mysterious it proves to be. It is your commonplace, featureless crimes which are really puzzling, just as a commonplace face is the most difficult to identify.
  Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.

 Michelangelo told [his biographer] Condivi what to write, ... Michelangelo was aware of posterity, so he wanted people to remember him as a self-created genius.

 Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity - Posterity has done nothing for us
  Abraham Lincoln

 Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say 'what should be the reward of such sacrifices?' Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
  Samuel Adams

 Talent isn't genius, and no amount of energy can make it so. I want to be great, or nothing. I won't be a commonplace dauber, so I don't intend to try any more.

 The drafts which true genius draws upon posterity, although they may not always be honored so soon as they are due, are sure to be paid with compound interest in the end.
