Yes The Truth Is That Men's Ambition

In Revolutions The Occasions May Be Trifling But Great Interest Are At Stake.

Democracy Arose From Men's Thinking That If They Are Equal In Any Respect They Are Equal Absolutely.

The First Principle Of All Action Is Leisure.

It Must Not Be Supposed That Happiness Will Demand Many Or Great Possessions; For Self-sufficiency Does Not Depend On Excessive Abundance, Nor Does Moral Conduct, And It Is Possible To Perform Noble Deeds Even Without Being Ruler Of Land And Sea: One Can Do Virtuous Acts With Quite Moderate Resources. This May Be Clearly Observed In Experience: Private Citizens Do Not Seem To Be Less But More Given To Doing Virtuous Actions Than Princes And Potentates. It Is Sufficient Then If Moderate Resources Are Forthcoming; For A Life Of Virtuous Activity Will Be Essentially A Happy Life.
