Power is what they want, not candy-power to execute their design, power to give legs and feet, form and actuality to their thought; which, to a clear-sighted man, appears the end for which the universe exists, and all its resources might be well applied.
Fine manners need the support of fine manners in others.
We lie in the lap of immense intelligence.
All promise outruns performance.
Every man is wanted, and no man is wanted much.
We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.
