"Slaves would be tyrants were the chance..." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“Nothing makes a man so adventurous as an empty pocket.”

“A wedding is not house-keeping.”

“Where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incident, chaos will soon reign.”

“Tyranny, like fog in the well known poem, often creeps in silently 'on little cat feet.'”

“A king of infinite space”

“We praise or blame as one or the other affords more opportunity for exhibiting our power of judgement.”

“People can only live with their equals, and not even with them; for in the long run they cannot tolerate that someone is their equal.”

“I have known some men possessed of good qualities which were very serviceable to others, but useless to themselves; like a sun-dial on the front of a house, to inform the neighbours and passengers, but not the owner within.”

“One compliment can keep me going for a whole month.”
