The Gentleman Cannot Have Forgotten His Own

I Have No Commiseration For Princes. My Sympathies Are Reserved For The Great Mass Of Mankind ….

Of All The Properties Which Belong To Honorable Men, Not One Is So Highly Prized As That Of Character.

Of All Human Powers Operating On The Affairs Of Mankind, None Is Greater Than That Of Competition.

In A Scheme Of Policy Which Is Devised For A Nation, We Should Not Limit Our Views To Its Operation During A Single Year, Or Even For A Short Term Of Years. We Should Look At Its Operation For A Considerable Time, And In War As Well As In Peace.

Honor And Good Faith And Justice Are Equally Due From This Country Toward The Weak As Toward The Strong.
