Was It Bonaparte Who Said That He Found Vices Very Good Patriots? "he Got Five Millions From The Love Of Brandy, And He Should Be Glad To Know Which Of The Virtues Would Pay Him As Much."

What Is Well Done, I Feel As If I Did; What Is Ill-done, I Reck Not Of.

It Is Impossible For A Man To Be Cheated By Anyone But Himself.
