The Desire Which Urges Us To Deserve

None Deserve Praise For Being Good Who Have Not The Spirit To Be Bad: Goodness, For The Most Part, Is Nothing But Indolence Or Weakness Of Will.

Self-love Is The Love Of A Man's Own Self, And Of Everything Else For His Own Sake. It Makes People Idolaters To Themselves, And Tyrants To All The World Besides.

Tricks And Treachery Are Merely Proofs Of Lack Of Skill.

A Fool Has Not Stuff Enough To Make A Good Man.

We Can Be More Clever Than One, But Not More Clever Than All.
