It is an easy and vulgar thing to please the mob, and no very arduous task to astonish them.
Charles C. Colton
To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who seek it: the pains of power are real, its pleasures imaginary.
Charles C. Colton
It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
