When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him: ‘Whose?’ He who knows how to obey, knows how to command. Selfishness is such a detestable vice that none forgives in others; but none is without in himself! He who knows not, knows not he knows not, shun him. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!
