“It is neither holy, Roman or an empire.”

“All the women in the world would not make me lose an hour.”

“A true master of politics is able to calculate, down to the smallest fraction, the advantages to which he may put his very faults.”

“Intellectuals may like to think of themselves as people who "speak truth to power" but too often they are people who speak lies to gain power.”

“A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody ought not to be trusted by anybody.”

“Leadership is the power of one harnessing the power of many.”

“Beauty and folly are old companions.”

“We think very little of time present; we anticipate the future, as being too slow, and with a view to hasten it onward, we recall the past to stay it as too swiftly gone. We are so thoughtless, that we thus wander through the hours which are not here, regardless only of the moment that is actually our own.”

“If we do not exert the right of eating our neighbor, it is because we have other means of making good cheer”
