Force Is Legitimate Where Gentleness Avails Not.

It Is The Crime Not The Scaffold Which Is The Disgrace.

After Having Won A Scepter, Few Are So Generous As To Disdain The Pleasures Of Ruling.

Alas, I Emerge From One Disaster To Fall Into A Worse.

Ambition, Having Reached The Summit, Longs To Descend.

The Crime And Not The Scaffold Makes The Shame.
