For the world is only governed by self-interest.
The storm is master. Man, as a ball, is tossed twixt winds and billows.
Our safety is not in blindness, but in facing our dangers.
Dare to be wrong and to dream.
Every great mind seeks to labor for eternity. All men are captivated by immediate advantages; great minds alone are excited by the prospect of distant good.
To the fool-king belongs the world.
