There in no one more unfortunate than the man who has never been unfortunate. for it has never been in his power to try himself.
It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.
He robs present ills of their power who has perceived their coming beforehand.
Dissembling profiteth nothing; a feigned countenance, and slightly forged externally, deceiveth but very few.
One crime has to be concealed by another.
Nobody will keep the thing he hears to himself, and nobody will repeat just what he hears and no more.
