“Familiarity breeds contempt – and children.“

“Children are natural mimics who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.”

“Nothing incites to money-crimes like great poverty or great wealth.”

“That elusive and shifty grain of gold… the right word”

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

“In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”

“There never was a throne which did not represent a crime.”
