It is to deny, what the history of the world tells us is true, to suppose that men of ambition and talents will not continue to spring up amongst us. And, when they do, they will as naturally seek the gratification of their ruling passion, as others have so done before them.

If you overesteem great men, people become powerless. If you overvalue possessions, people begin to steal.
