Let him leave the imperial court, who wishes to be virtuous. Virtue and absolute power cannot coexist.
The mere apprehension of a coming evil has put many into a situation of the utmost danger.

Not a stone but has its history.
No man is ever innocent when his opponent is the judge.
He is covered by the heavens who has no sepulchral urn.
