It is a principle of human nature to hate those whom we have injured.
Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.
The lust of dominion burns with a flame so fierce as to overpower all other affections of the human breast.
The worst crimes were dared by a few, willed by more and tolerated by all.
In the struggle between those seeking power there is no middle course.
In valor there is hope.
