"He that cannot dissemble, cannot reign."

"The mind of man is far from a clear and even mirror, but is rather like an enchanted glass, full of superstitions and impostures."

"For a crowd is not company; and faces are but a gallery of pictures; and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love."

"He that is a master of himself, is a master of the world."

"It is not the lie that passeth through the mind, but the lie that sinketh in, and settleth in it, that doth the hurt."
