I have only one counsel for you - be master.

In this life we are either kings or pawns, emperors or fools.

If I am often seen at the theatre, people will cease to notice me.

All authority is in the throne; and what is the throne? This wooden frame covered with velvet? No, I am the throne.

I firmly believe that the army of persons who urge greater and greater centralization of authority and greater and greater dependence upon the Federal Treasury are really more dangerous to our form of government than any external threat that can possibly be arrayed against us.

Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.
