Every great man inevitable resents a partner in greatness.
Poverty fled, she who gives birth to virile men.
He is covered by the heavens who has no sepulchral urn.
To strictest justice many ills belong, And honesty is often in the wrong.
As great edifices collapse of their own weight, so Heaven sets a similar limit to the growth of prosperous states.
As far as the earth is from the stars, and fire from the sea, so is the useful from the right. Power over men perishes completely if justice begins to be observed, and respect for individual rights overcomes strongholds.
