The Esteem Of Wise And Good Men

Those Who Have Been Intoxicated With Power... Can Never Willingly Abandon It.

When The Leaders Choose To Make Themselves Bidders At An Auction Of Popularity, Their Talents, In The Construction Of The State, Will Be Of No Service. They Will Become Flatterers Instead Of Legislators; The Instruments, Not The Guides, Of The People.

We Set Ourselves To Bite The Hand That Feeds Us.

My Good Friends, While I Do Most Earnestly Recommend You To Take Care Of Your Health And Safety, As Things Most Precious To Us, I Would Not Have That Care Degenerate Into An Effeminate And Over-curious Attention, Which Is Always Disgraceful To A Man's Self, And Often Troublesome To Others.

Power, In Whatever Hands, Is Rarely Guilty Of Too Strict Limitations On Itself.
