The most talented man, as he has been told many times, does a hundred foolish things in his life. - Daniel Salamanca Urey

The smallest evil that is inflicted on us seems to us a monstrous and horrible injustice. On the contrary, we are willing to consider the evils of others' light and to excuse and mitigate the injustices suffered by them.

Nothing is more ridiculous than a tyrant, whose fear is gradually losing itself.

All those who are not criticized, err. Those who are not watched, abuse. Those who are spoiled, become fat. Those who are applauded, are puffed up. A true superiority of spirit is needed to save oneself from those consequences.
