Yes, know thyself: in great concerns or small, be this thy care, for this, my friend, is all.
Men who ape the saint and play the sinner.
He who meditates a crime secretly within himself has all the guilt of the act.
There will he nothing more that posterity can add to our immoral habits; our descendants must have the same desires and act the same follies as their sires. Every vice has reached its zenith.
Revenge is always the weak pleasure of a little and narrow mind.
Great power which incites great envy, hurls some men to destruction; they are drowned in a long splendid stream of honors.
