Man was nature's mistake she neglected to finish him and she has never ceased paying for her mistake.

The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.

The only way to predict the future is to have power to shape the future.

Our sense of power is more vivid when we break a man's spirit than when we win his heart. For we can win a man's heart one day and lose it the next. But when we break a proud spirit we achieve something that is final and absolute.

We probably have a greater love for those we support than for those who support us. Our vanity carries more weight than our self-interest.

Those who lack the capacity to achieve much in an atmosphere of freedom will clamor for power.

However much we guard against it, we tend to shape ourselves in the image others have of us.
