Don't try to shift your responsibilities on to somebody else.
I don't want people to love me. It makes for obligations.
The minute the law is devised, its evasion is contrived.
The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.
As long as people overlook matters, then inferiors can, without any fear, lead an easy and peaceful life.
The secret of good health and happiness is to have rather small illnesses throughout your life which you can rely on to stop you doing anything you don't want to do.
My desire to devolve authority has nothing to do with a wish to shirk responsibility.
