The effect of power and publicity on all men is the aggravation of self, a sort of tumor that ends by killing the victim's sympathies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Power is what men seek and any group that gets it will abuse it.
More men die of jealousy than of cancer.
Fame and power are the objects of all men. Even their partial fruition is gained by very few; and that, too, at the expense of social pleasure, health, conscience, life.
Cancer victimhood contains a permanent temptation to be self-centred and even solipsistic.
A man becomes as attractive as an attractive woman when he becomes successful and is publicly noted. Power's an aphrodisiac.
Publicity is like poison; it doesn't hurt unless you swallow it.
Power is, in its nature, encroaching; and such is the human make that men who are vested with a share of it are generally inclined to take more than it was intended they should have.
Everybody eventually discovers that they are an individual with the power to affect their own lives and make it better or not.
Under the influence of fear, which always leads men to take a pessimistic view of things, they magnified their enemies' resources, and minimized their own.
Publicity's a cancer. It eats out a man - till there's nothing but a shell left.
