Kindness, so far as we can return it, is agreeable.
Zealous in the commencement, careless in the end.
Candor and generosity, unless tempered by due moderation, leads to ruin.
The love of dominion is the most engrossing passion.
Valor is of no service, chance rules all, and the bravest often fall by the hands of cowards.
There can never be a complete confidence in a power which is excessive.
