Knowledge is a weight added to conscience.
Babylon violated diminishes Alexander; Rome enslaved diminishes Caesar; massacred Jerusalem diminishes Titus. Tyranny follows the tyrant. Woe to the man who leaves behind a shadow that bears his form.
The clouds, - the only birds that never sleep.
The wind of revolutions is not tractable.
A shadow is hard to seize by the throat and dash to the ground.
God has set his intentions in the flowers, in the dawn, in the spring, it is his will that we should love.
