When you strike at a king, you must kill him.

We do what we must, and call it by the best names.

Tis the good reader that makes the good book.

There is no den in the wide world to hide a rogue. Commit a crime and the earth is made of glass. Commit a crime, and it seems as if a coat of snow fell on the ground, such as reveals in the woods the track of every partridge, and fox, and squirrel.

The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it.

The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.

The ancestor of every action is a thought.

The only gift is a portion of thyself.

The world belongs to the energetic.

Make yourself necessary to somebody. Do not make life hard to any.
