Really these things said on my birthday, these reminisces...
I think sometimes they reek of a false modesty - Oh, I've only painted 100 pictures and only some of them were any good, I've only written a few books and they're just mediocre, I've only been to the most inhabited continents, I've only made and lost one fortune, I've only had several professions, I've only had a few great romances, I've only... I've only... I've only...
Even if the benchmarks are high you still want for more tomorrow. That's all. And greater things still before your end.
