Soremarkably perverse is the nature of man that he despises those that court himand admires whoever will not bend before him.

Onlyfree men can negotiate. Prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedomand mine cannot be separated.

The soul would have no rainbow, if the eyes had no tears.

To exaggrerate is to weaken.

He that is unkind to his own will not be kind to others.

Constantrepetition carries conviction.

A perfect method for adding drama to life is to wait until the deadline looms large.

The great despisers are the greater reverers.

It is a strange desire, to seek power, and to loseliberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.

No pillow is as soft as clear conscience.

The exercise of power is determined by thousands ofinteractions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, allthe more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyonehas a small part of himself in both.

The ultimate measured a man is not where he stands in marents of comfort, but whre he stands at times of challenge & contraversy.
