Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.

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.

The power never to get disappointed with man is by knowing the fact that more than 80% of humans lack the noble character.

Rather than frontally accuse a person of being bad,why not say,you lack the noble character.

When the state is most corrupt, then the laws are most multiplied.

It's the best fucking thing I've done for ages.
