«Leave this hypocritical prating about the masses. Masses are rude, lame, unmade, pernicious in their demands and influence, and need not to be flattered, but to be schooled. I wish not to concede anything to them, but to tame, drill, divide, and break them up, and draw individuals out of them.»
«Strong men greet war, tempest, hard times. They wish, as Pindar said, to tread the floors of hell, with necessities as hard as iron.»
«The secret of ugliness consists not in irregularity, but in being uninteresting.»
«As there is a use in medicine for poisons, so the world cannot move without rogues.»
«Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.»
«The people fancy they hate poetry, and they are all poets and mystics.»
«Our distrust is very expensive.»
«No matter how you seem to fatten on a crime, there can never be good for the bee which is bad for the hive.»
«Character is that which can do without success.»
«The hero is not fed on sweets, Daily his own heart he eats; Chambers of the great are jails, And head-winds right for royal sails. Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, sleep to wake.»
