The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means in order to carry out his promises, and is already on the road to perdition.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.
The bad man desires arbitrary power. What moves the evil man is the love of injustice.
The man who does evil to another does evil to himself, and the evil counsel is most evil for him who counsels it.
The man who never makes a mistake always takes orders from one who does. No man or woman who tries to pursue an ideal in his or her own way is without enemies.
Pessimist: One who, when he has the choice of two evils, chooses both.
Whoever benefits his enemy with straightforward intention that man's enemies will soon fold their hands in devotion.
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.
Every man may reign secure in his petty tyranny, and spread terror and desolation around him, until the trump of the Archangel shall excite different emotions in his soul.
