• “His fault was a common one. He simply did not know what he was;he saw no flaw in himself, a not unusual blindness and preferable, on the whole , to being unable to find any virtue in oneself.”

• “Traitors who prevail are patriots; usurpers who succeed are divine emperors.”

• “There is no terror equal that of the ignorant in a strange place.”
