A constitution is the arrangement of magistracies in a state.

In all well-attempered governments there is nothing which should be more jealously maintained than the spirit of obedience to law, more especially in small matters; for transgression creeps in unperceived and at last ruins the state, just as the constant recurrence of small expenses in time eats up a fortune.

Those who act receive the prizes.

Melancholy men of all others are most witty, which causeth many times a divine ravishment, and a kinde of Enthusiasmus, which stirreth them up to bee excellent Philosophers, Poets, Prophets, etc.

The only way to achieve true success is to express yourself completely in service to society.

No one chooses what does not rest with himself, but only what he thinks can be attained by his own act.
