Power Is Not Happiness.

The Wise Man Is Satisfied With Nothing.

We Cannot Perform Our Tasks To The Best Of Our Power, Unless We Think Well Of Our Own Capacity.

My Thoughts Will Be Taken Up With The Future Or The Past, With What Is To Come Or What Has Been. Of The Present There Is Necessarily No Image.

What Indeed Is Life, Unless So Far As It Is Enjoyed? It Does Not Merit The Name.

Above All We Should Not Forget, That Government Is An Evil, An Usurpation Upon The Private Judgment And Individual Conscience Of Mankind.
