A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers.
Men love their vices and hate them at the same time.
Demand not that I am the equal of the greatest, only that I am better than the wicked.
Laugh at your problems; everybody else does.
How great would be our peril if our slaves began to number us!
The great thing is to know when to speak and when to keep quiet.
