Justice is a contract of expediency, entered upon to prevent men harming or being harmed.

If the gods have the will to remove evil and cannot, then they are not all-powerful. If they are neither able nor willing, they are neither all-powerful or benevolent. If they are both able and willing to annihilate evil, why does it exist?

The words of that philosopher who offers no therapy for human suffering are empty and vain.

Nothing is sufficient for the person who finds sufficiency too little

All other love is extinguished by self-love; beneficence, humanity, justice, philosophy, sink under it.

Justice is a contract of expediency, entered upon to prevent men harming or being harmed.

Of all the gifts that wise Providence grants us to make life full and happy, friendship is the most beautiful.
