All the wise world is little else, in nature, But parasites or subparasites.
The world knows only two, that's Rome and I.
Who casts to write a living line, must sweat.
Force works on servile natures, not the free.
Success produces confidence; confidence relaxes industry, and negligence ruins the reputation which accuracy had raised.
No man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.
