true man, n.All

True man (n.) can ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠stand neither long poverty nor long prosperity unless he is real; he lives by true manhood naturally, where a merely wise man does it because it pays.

The True man (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the Anthropos in the individual, the chen-yen of Chinese alchemy; far from scattering the flock, he is the highest form of culture and plays no shepherd-and-sheep game, being busy enough shepherding himself.
