Never Write A Letter And Never Destroy

I Have The Consolation Of Leaving Your Kingdom In The Highest Degree Of Glory And Of Reputation.

Give Me Six Lines Written By The Most Honorable Person Alive, And I Shall Find Enough In Them To Condemn Them To The Gallows.

Nothing So Upholds The Laws As The Punishment Of Persons Whose Rank Is As Great As Their Crime.

Secrecy Is The First Essential In Affairs Of State.

Who Will Be My Equal?
