Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.

He who has great power should use it lightly.

Be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk.

The most powerful thing we own is our vote.

No one is laughable who laughs at himself.

The most powerful person is he who is able to do least himself and burden others most with the things for which he lends his name and pockets the credit.
