The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves.
Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.
The admiration of power in others is as common to man as the love of it in himself; the one makes him a tyrant, the other a slave.
I can enjoy society in a room; but out of doors, nature is company enough for me
Repose is as necessary in conversation as in a picture.
Liberty is the only true riches: of all the rest we are at once the masters and the slaves.
