We are born, we live, we die among supernatural. Time is the great art of man. It is the success which makes great men. The heart of a statesman must be in his head. From sublime to ridiculousness there is only one step.

High politic is only common sense applied to great things. Imagination governs the world. I know when it is necessary, how to leave the skin of lion to take one of fox.
