No master can make me swear blind obedience.
A good and faithful judge ever prefers the honorable to the expedient.
Let not a god interfere unless where a god's assistance is necessary. [Adopt extreme measures only in extreme cases.]
Force without judgement falls on its own weight.
What does drunkenness accomplish? It discloses secrets, it ratifies hopes, and urges even the unarmed to battle.
Leave the rest to the gods.
