Liberty may be of no more use Than stirring up the flame of civil wars; Then, by disorder fatal to the world, One wants no king, the other wants no equal.
The worst of all States is the democratic State.
What destroys one man preserves another.
He on whom heaven confers a sceptre knows not the weight till he bears it.
Every man of courage is a man of his word.
Generosity is the accompaniment of high birth; pity and gratitude are its attendants.
