"The injury that is to be done to a man must be such that one need not fear his revenge."

"Any man who tries to be good all the time is bound to come to ruin among the great number of men who are not good."

"Men must either be caressed or annihilated; they will revenge themselves for slight wrongs, but not for great ones."

"He who is not a friend to the new order of things must be an enemy to it."

"He who builds on the people, builds on mud."
