But to enable a prince to form an opinion of his servant there is one test which never fails; when you see the servant thinking more of his own interests than of yours, and seeking inwardly his own profit in everything, such a man will never make a good servant, nor will you ever be able to trust him; because he who has the state of another in his hands ought never to think of himself, but always of his prince, and never pay any attention to matters in which the prince is not concerned.
The Prince by Machiavelli, Nicolo View in context
His days were filled with morbid self-pity, which eventually engendered in his weak and vacillating mind a hatred for those who had sent him here--for the very men he had at first inwardly thanked for saving him from the ignominy of degradation.
Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar by Burroughs, Edgar Rice View in context
Mother Simon wiped it away with a cloth, saying inwardly that some day she would have to go through the same thing herself.
