Not to feel one's misfortunes is not human, not to bear them is not manly.
Anger is like those ruins which smash themselves on what they fall.
For greed, all nature is too little.
Successful crime is dignified with the name of virtue; the good become the slaves of the wicked; might makes right; fear silences the power of the law.
What a great blessing is a friend with a heart so trusty you may safely bury all your secrets in it.
The real compensation of a right action is inherent in having performed it.
