    What does it matter whether I am shown to be right! I am right too much!—And he who laughs best today will also laugh last.

    It requires more virtue to bear good fortune than ill.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    His eloquence was of every kind, and he excelled in the argumentative as well as in the declamatory way. But his invectives were terrible, and uttered with such energy of diction, and stern dignity of action and countenance, that he intimidated those who were the most willing and the best able to encounter him. Their arms fell out of their hands, and they shrunk under the ascendant which his genius gained over theirs.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
