If We Steal Thoughts From The Moderns,

Power, Like The Diamond, Dazzles The Beholder, And Also The Wearer; It Dignifies Meanness; It Magnifies Littleness; To What Is Contemptible, It Gives Authority; To What Is Low, Exaltation.

The Hate Which We All Bear With The Most Christian Patience Is The Hate Of Those Who Envy Us.

An Honest Man Will Continue To Be So Though Surrounded On All Sides By Rogues.

The Most Consistent Men Are Not More Unlike To Others, Than They Are At Times To Themselves.

We Are More Inclined To Hate One Another For Points On Which We Differ, Than To Love One Another For Points On Which We Agree.
