Peacemakers not only live, they rule life.

There is no revenge like oblivion, for it is the entombment of the unworthy in the dust of their own nothingness.

Know how to ask. There is nothing more difficult for some people, nor for others, easier.

Folly consists not in committing Folly, but in being incapable of concealing it. All men make mistakes, but the wise conceal the blunders they have made, while fools make them public. Reputation depends more on what is hidden than on what is seen. If you can’t be good, be careful.

Every fool stands convinced; and everyone convinced is a fool. The faultier a person's judgement the firmer their convictions.

Be known for pleasing others, especially if you govern them. Ruling other has one advantage: you can do more good than anyone else.

Beauty and folly are generally companions.
