“Every sentence spoken by Napoleon, and every line of his writing, deserves readi…” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Man is priest, and scholar, and statesman, and producer, and soldier.

Character is always known. Thefts never enrich; alms never impoverish; murder will speak out of stone walls.

It is said that the world is in a state of bankruptcy, that the world owes the world more than the world can pay.

There is a blessed necessity by which the interest of men is always driving them to the right; and, again, making all crime mean and ugly.
