Tyranny Is far the worst of treasons. Dost thou deem None rebels except subjects? The prince who Neglects or violates his trust is more A brigand than the robber-chief.
He makes a solitude, and calls it - peace!
The best prophet of the future is the past.
Like to the apples on the Dead Sea's shore, All ashes to the taste.
There are some feelings time cannot benumb, Nor torture shake.
Glory, like the phoenix 'midst her fires, Exhales her odours, blazes, and expires.
