Utility is the great idol of the age, to which all powers must do service and all talents swear allegiance.

Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.

It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases.

Great souls endure in silence.

What the inner voice says will not disappoint the hoping soul.

The strong man is strongest when alone.
