Elizabeth Barrett Browning Quote

A position of eminence makes a great person greater and a small person less

A man of the world must seem to be what he wishes to be thought

Idleness is the beginning of all vice, the crown of all virtues.

We see men fall from high estate on account of the very faults through which they attained it

Power is poison. Its effect on Presidents had always been tragic.

Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.
