Viewed from a distance, everything is beautiful.
Keen at the start, but careless at the end.
A man in power, once becoming obnoxious, his acts, good or bad, will work out his ruin.
Reason and judgment are the qualities of a leader.
All things atrocious and shameless flock from all parts to Rome.
The lust of dominion burns with a flame so fierce as to overpower all other affections of the human breast.
