Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." "The Nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave.

"It is only necessary to make war with five things: with the maladies of the body, with the ignorances of the mind, with the passions of the body, with the seditions of the city, with the discords of families."
