Dignity is a matter which concerns only mankind

The exercise of power is determined by thousands ofinteractions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, allthe more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyonehas a small part of himself in both.

Every village has to become a self-sufficient republic.

Only hethat has traveled the road knows where the holes are deep.

To know the pains of power, we must go to those who haveit; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it.

Hold a true friend with both your hands.

To rule is not so much a question of the heavy hand as the firm seat.

Weagree completely on everything, including the fact we don't see eye to eye.

If you don't know where you're going, you'll end upsomewhere else.

When the defects of others are percieved with so much clarity, it is because one possesses with oneself.

We willbe known by the tracks we leave behind.

Itmatters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.
