If The Lion Knew His Own Strength,

You Wouldn't Abandon Ship In A Storm Just Because You Couldn't Control The Winds.

Two Evils, Greed And Faction Are The Destruction Of All Justice.

Who Does More Earnestly Long For A Change Than He Who Is Uneasy In His Present Circumstances? And Who Run To Create Confusions With So Desperate A Boldness As Those Who Have Nothing To Lose, Hope To Gain By Them?

If The Lion Knew His Own Strength, Hard Were It For Any Man To Rule Him.

Pride Measures Prosperity Not By Her Own Advantages But By The Disadvantages Of Others. She Would Not Even Wish To Be A Goddess Unless There Were Some Wretches Left Whom She Could Order About And Lord It Over, Whose Misery Would Make Her Happiness Seem All The More Extraordinary, Whose Poverty Can Be Tormented And Exacerbated By A Display Of Her Wealth. This Infernal Serpent, Pervading The Human Heart, Keeps Men From Reforming Their Lives, Holding Them Back Like A Suckfish.
