No crime has been without a precedent.

That day which you fear as being the end of all things is the birthday of your eternity.

Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.

There has not been any great talent without an element of madness. -Nullum magnum ingenium sine mixtura dementiae fuit

I do not sacrifice, but lend myself to business.
