He who has a garden and a library wants for nothing.
Who does not know history's first law to be that an author must not dare to tell anything but the truth? And its second that he must make bold to tell the whole truth? That there must be no suggestion of partiality anywhere in his writings? Nor of malice?
Work makes a callus against grief.
Let the welfare of the people be the ultimate law.
Trust no one unless you have eaten much salt with him.
