    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    “Truth has scarce done so much good in the world as the false appearances of it have done hurt.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “Divine persons are character born, or, to borrow a phrase from Napoleon, they are victory organized.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
