Absolute power demoralizes.
A man can be trusted only up to low-water mark.
No public character has ever stood the revelation of private utterance and correspondence.
Guard against the prestige of great names; see that your judgments are your own; and do not shrink from disagreement; no trusting without testing
The common vice of democracy is disregard for morality.
Do not turn yourself from an end into a means-one does not justify the other.
