A great fortune is a great slavery. >>
All cruelty springs from weakness. >>
Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones. >>
Submit to the present evil, lest a greater one befall you. >>
The face of evil is always the face of total need. >>
By bravely enduring it, an evil which cannot be avoided is overcome >>
