Nature of man is not what he was born as, but what he is born for.

In revolutions the occasions may be trifling but great interest are at stake.

Whereas the law is passionless, passion must ever sway the heart of man.

There are three qualifications required in those who have to fill the highest offices, - (1) first of all, loyalty to the established constitution; (2) the greatest administrative capacity; (3) virtue and justice of the kind proper to each form of government.

The form of government is a democracy when the free, who are also poor and the majority, govern, and an oligarchy when the rich and the noble govern, they being at the same time few in number.

Love well, be loved and do something of value.

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.
