All men desire by nature to know.

The excellence of a thing is related to its proper function.

Man's best friend is one who wishes well to the object of his wish for his sake, even if no one is to know of it.

If men think that a ruler is religious and has a reverence for the Gods, they are less afraid of suffering injustice at his hands.

It seems that ambition makes most people wish to be loved rather than to love others.
