ambition errors suffering
The blindness of bigotry, the madness of ambition, and the miscalculations of diplomacy seek their victims principally amongst the innocent and the unoffending.

If there be, amongst the sons of men, a single exception to this maxim, the divine Socrates may be allowed to put in the strongest claim.
