counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves.
Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be
placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there must be
without.  It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things that men of
intemperate minds cannot be free.  Their passions forge their fetters."
