“No person, place, or thing has any power over me, for I am the only thinker in my mind. I create my own reality and everyone in it.”
“I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well.”
“I am not only witty in myself, but the cause that wit is in other men.”
“Every day I observe more and more the folly of judging of others by ourselves; and I have so much trouble with myself, and my own heart is in such constant agitation, that I am well content to let others pursue their own course, if they only allow me the same privilege.”
“The power-hungry individual follows a path to his own destruction.”
