The Intellect Of The Generality

Absence Cools Moderate Passions, And Inflames Violent Ones; Just As The Wind Blows Out Candles, But Kindles Fires.

It Is Easier To Rule Others Than To Keep From Being Ruled Oneself.

Honest People Will Respect Us For Our Merit: The Public, For Our Luck.

We Forgive Just So Long As We Love.
