contemporaries
The surest test of a man's critical power is his judgment of contemporaries. [ La Bruyère ]
Contemporaries appreciate the man rather than the merit; posterity will regard the merit rather than the man. [ Charles Buxton ]
We are for the most part but the contemporaries of happiness. It is spoken of about us, but we die without having known it. [ O. Firmez ]
Speaking generally, no man appears great to his contemporaries, for the same reason that no man is great to his servants - both know too much of him. [ Colton ]
Thackeray and Balzac will make it possible for our descendants to live over again the England and France of today. Seen in this light, the novelist has a higher office than merely to amuse his contemporaries. [ P. G. Hamerton ]
People are always talking about originality; but what do they mean? As soon as we are born, the world begins to work upon us; and this goes on to the end. And after all, what can we call our own, except energy, strength, and will? If I could give an account of all that I owe to great predecessors and contemporaries, there would be but a small balance in my favor. [ Goethe ]
When the great Kepler had at length discovered the harmonic laws that regulate the motions of the heavenly bodies, he exclaimed: Whether my discoveries will be read by posterity or by my contemporaries is a matter that concerns them more than me. I may well be contented to wait one century for a reader, when God Himself, during so many thousand years, has waited for an observer like myself.
[ Macaulay ]
