Democracy Is Always The Work Of Kings.

Truth, Like The Juice Of The Poppy, In Small Quantities, Calms Men; In Larger, Heats And Irritates Them, And Is Attended By Fatal Consequences In Excess.

A Great Man Knows The Value Of Greatness; He Dares Not Hazard It, He Will Not Squander It.

A Little Praise Is Good For A Shy Temper; It Teaches It To Rely On The Kindness Of Others.

Cruelty Is No More The Cure Of Crimes Than It Is The Cure Of Sufferings; Compassion, In The First Instance, Is Good For Both; I Have Known It To Bring Compunction When Nothing Else Would.

We Are Poor, Indeed, When We Have No Half-wishes Left Us. The Heart And The Imagination Close The Shutters The Instant They Are Gone.
