Dignity is a matter which concerns only mankind.
Nothing is so uncertain or unpredictable as the feelings of a crowd.
Avarice and luxury, those evils which have been the ruin of every great state.
Law is a thing which is insensible, and inexorable, more beneficial and more profitious to the weak than to the strong; it admits of no mitigation nor pardon, once you have overstepped its limits.
Persevere in virtue and diligence.
The best known evil is the most tolerable.
