Deaf rage that hears no leader.
We must bear what Heaven sends.
Peace is rarely denied to the peaceful.
Man, living, feeling man, is the easy sport of the over-mastering present.
Vast, colossal destiny, which raises man to fame, though it may also grind him to powder!
Yet have I ever heard it said that spies and tale-bearers have done more mischief in this world than poisoned bowl or the assassin's dagger.
