To Eat Is A Necessity, But To

Few Men Know All The Ill They Do.

As We Grow Older, We Increase In Folly--and In Wisdom.

Great Names Abase, Instead Of Elevating, Those Who Do Not Know How To Bear Them.

Some Crimes Get Honor And Renown By Being Committed With More Pomp, By A Greater Number, And In A Higher Degree Of Wickedness Thanothers. Hence It Is That Public Robberies, Plunderings, And Sackings Have Been Looked Upon As Excellencies And Noble Achievements, And The Seizing Of Whole Countries, However Unjustly And Barbarously, Is Dignified With The Glorious Name Of Gaining Conquests.

To Praise Princes For Virtues They Do Not Possess Is To Insult Them Without Fear Of Consequences.
