Clumsy jesting is no joke.
It is with our Passions, as it is with Fire and Water, they are 'Good Servants,' but 'Bad Masters.'
In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains.
Persuasion is often more effectual than force.
All of us, the great and the little have need of each other.
We often despise what is most useful to us.
