Longing Not So Much To Change Things

A Perverse Temper And Fretful Disposition Will Make Any State Of Life Whatsoever Unhappy.

A Bureaucrat Is The Most Despicable Of Men, Though He Is Needed As Vultures Are Needed, But One Hardly Admires Vultures Whom Bureaucrats So Strangely Resemble.

Who Can Trust Such Creatures?
