By myth I mean the arrangement of the incidents

We, on the other hand, must take for granted that the things that exist by nature are, either all or some of them, in motion.

The weak are always anxious for justice and equality. The strong pay no heed to either.

All men naturally desire knowledge. An indication of this is our esteem for the senses; for apart from their use we esteem them for their own sake, and most of all the sense of sight. Not only with a view to action, but even when no action is contemplated, we prefer sight, generally speaking, to all the other senses. The reason of this is that of all the senses sight best helps us to know things, and reveals many distinctions.

If then nature makes nothing without some end in view, nothing to no purpose, it must be that nature has made all of them for the sake of man.

We make war that we may live in peace.

Courage is the mother of all virtues because without it, you cannot consistently perform the others.
