Power call achieve more by gentle means than by violence.
Liberty begets license.
Nothing can allay the rage of biting envy.
Nature has placed his own happiness in each man's hands, if he only knew how to use it.
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.
