Public opinion is an extremely mutable thing
It’s a release to know that in spite of everything a premeditated act of courage is still possible.
The devil is compromise.
The man-at-arms is the only man.
Friends are to be feared, not so much for what they make us do as what they keep us from doing.
Money may be the husk of many things but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintance, but not friends; servants, but not loyalty; days of joy, but not peace or happiness.
