“I will praise any man that will praise me.”

“Flattery is all right if you don't inhale.”

“To innovate is not to reform.”

“Tyrants seldom want pretexts.”

“Ambition can creep as well as soar.”

“Custom reconciles us to everything.”

“Laws, like houses, lean on one another.”

“You can never plan the future by the past.”
