We risk all in being too greedy.
What is denominated discretion in man we call cunning in brutes.
You've tried to reform what will not learn. Shut doors on traits that you wish were dead; They will open a window and return.
O love, when thou gettest dominion over us, we may bid good-by to prudence.
The good, we do it; the evil, that is fortune; man is always right, and destiny always wrong.
Better to rely on one powerful king than on many little princes.
