Adversity reveals the genius of a general; good fortune conceals it.
Take subject matter equal to your powers, and ponder long, what your shoulders cannot bear, and what they can.
We are deceived by the appearance of right.
The man who is just and resolute will not be moved from his settled purpose, either by the misdirected rage of his fellow citizens, or by the threats of an imperious tryant.
He will be loved when dead, who was envied when he was living.
If you study the history and records of the world you must admit that the source of justice was the fear of injustice.
