As long as there are men the bulwark is safe.
Search well and be wise, nor believe that self-willed pride will ever be better than good counsel.
There is no sickness worse for me than words that to be kind must lie.
For somehow this is tyranny's disease, to trust no friends.
Mourn for me rather as living than as dead.
There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls.
