“To admonish your brother in private is to advise him and improve him.”

My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me.

Never do I argue with a man with a desire to hear him say what is wrong, or to expose him and win victory over him.

And so it is in politics, dear brother, Each for himself alone, there is no other.

Accuracy is twin brother to honesty, and inaccuracy to dishonesty.

I cannot love thee; thou ‘rt worse than thy brother. Go, say thy prayers, child, and ask God’s pardon. I doubt thy mother and I must rue that we ever reared thee!

In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb, The third big war will begin when the big city is burning.
