For sooner will men hold fire in their mouths than keep a secret.

There is nothing makes a man suspect much, more than to know little.

Secrecy lies at the very core of power.

To know all is not to forgive all. It is to despise everybody.

Guard more faithfully the secret which is confided to you than the money which is entrusted to your care.
