Mutability Is Written Upon All Things.

The Absolute Ruler May Be A Nero, But He Is Sometimes A Titus Or Marc Aurelius; The People Is Often Nero, But Never Marc Aurelius.

Opinions, Theories, And Systems Pass By Turns Over The Grindstone Of Time, Which At First Gives Them Brilliancy And Sharpness, But Finally Wears Them Out.

The Most Civilized People Are As Near To Barbarism As The Most Polished Steel Is To Rust. Nations, Like Metals, Have Only A Superficial Brilliancy.

Mind Is The Partial Side Of Men; The Heart Is Everything.

What Isn’t Clear, Isn’t French.
