In the hands of vicious men, a mob will do anything. But under good leaders it's quite a different story.

The little done doth vanish to the mind which forward sees how much remains to do.

Pay special attention to their agony so I might take some pleasure.

Too much zeal offends where indirection works.

Everyone asks if a man is rich, no one if he is good.

Both to the rich and poor, wine is the happy antidote for sorrow.

Who dares not speak his free thoughts is a slave.
