Rumor is not always wrong

Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth; when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it.

In seasons of tumult and discord bad men have the most power; mental and moral excellence require peace and quietness.

Lust of power is the most flagrant of all the passions

Abuse if you slight it, will gradually die away; but if you show yourself irritated, you will be thought to have deserved it.

Be assured those will be thy worst enemies, not to whom thou hast done evil, but who have done evil to thee. And those will be thy best friends, not to whom thou hast done good, but who have done good to thee.

Things are not to be judged good or bad merely because the public think so.

The lust for power, for dominating others, inflames the heart more than any other passion.

The brave and bold persist even against fortune; the timid and cowardly rush to despair though fear alone.

Forethought and prudence are the proper qualities of a leader.

He had talents equal to business, and aspired no higher

The hatred of relatives is the most violent

All bodies are slow in growth but rapid in decay.

The unknown always seems sublime

Those in supreme power always suspect and hate their next heir.
