    Inferiors revolt in order that they may be equal, and equals that they may be superior. Such is the state of mind which creates revolutions.

    A true politeness does not result from any hasty and artificial polishing, it is true, but grows naturally in characters of the right grain and quality, through a long fronting of men and events, and rubbing on good and bad fortune.
