Slowness Is Frequently The Cause

Every Man Who Has Power Is Impelled To Abuse It.

In Vain Do We Seek Tranquility In The Desert; Temptations Are Always With Us; Our Passions, Represented By The Demons, Never Let Us Alone: Those Monsters Created By The Heart, Those Illusions Produced By The Mind, Those Vain Specters That Are Our Errors And Our Lies Always Appear Before Us To Seduce Us; They Attack Us Even In Our Fasting Or Our Mortifications, In Other Words, In Our Very Strength.

I Shall Ever Repeat It, That Mankind Are Governed Not By Extremes, But By Principals Of Moderation.

Republics Are Brought To Their Ends By Luxury; Monarchies By Poverty.

Each Particular Society Begins To Feel Its Strength, Whence Arises A State Of War Between Different Nations.
