I am a mortal enemy to arbitrary government and unlimited power.
Diligence is the mother of good luck.
If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.
It is much easier to suppress a first desire than to satisfy those that follow.
Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and governments.
Life is a kind of Chess, with struggle, competition, good and ill events.
