The power is detested, and miserable the life, of him who wishes to be feared rather than to be loved.

After darkness comes the light.

Tasteful rather than expensive.

So that he seemed not to relinquish life, but to leave one home for another.

No government is safe unless it is protected by the good will of the people.

No evil is great if it is the last.

That evil can never be great which is the last.

Peace is obtained by war.

In friendship similarity of character has more weight than kinship.

Hateful is the power, and pitiable is the life, of those who wish to be feared rather than loved.
