The only one who is wiser than anyone is everyone.
Men are ruled by toys.
I can no longer obey; I have tasted command, and I cannot give it up.
The herd seek out the great, not for their sake but for their influence; and the great welcome them out of vanity or need.
I start out by believing the worst
One can lead a nation only by helping it see a bright outlook. A leader is a dealer in hope.
