Anyone entrusted with power will abuse it if not also animated with the love of truth and virtue, no matter whether he be a prince, or one of the people.

I bend, but I do not break.

Man is ice to truth and fire to falsehood.

By the work one knows the workman.

Learn that every flatterer Lives at the flattered listeners cost.

Help yourself, and Heaven will help you.

One returns to the place one came from.
