The covetous man is always poor.
Power call achieve more by gentle means than by violence.
The best manners are stained by haughtiness.
Luxury, that alluring pest with fair forehead, which, yielding always to the will of the body, throws a deadening influence over the senses, and weakens the limbs more than the drugs of Circe's cup.
Death is the great leveller.
Here is a fine field for talent.
