For what's the use of talking with a man who has a disease and thinks about the stars?

He who speaks of enemies , himself is the enemy.

There are a few things that'll move people to pity, a few, but the trouble is, when they've been used several times, they no longer work.

It isn't important to come out on top, what matters is to be the one who comes out alive.

First the grub, then the morals.

Those who take the most from the table, teach contentment. Those for whom the taxes are destined, demand sacrifice. Those who eat their fill, speak to the hungry, of wonderful times to come. Those who lead the country into the abyss, call ruling difficult, for ordinary folk.

First feed the face, then talk right and wrong.
