Power is so characteristically calm, that calmness in itself has the
aspect of power, and forbearance implies strength. The orator who is
known to have at his command all the weapons of invective is most
formidable when most courteous.--_Bulwer-Lytton._
~Praise.~--Expect not praise without envy until you are dead. Honors
bestowed on the illustrious dead have in them no admixture of envy; for
the living pity the dead; and pity and envy, like oil and vinegar,
assimilate not.--_Colton._
