Let each man have according to his deserts.

History is truely the witness of times past, the light of truth, the life of memory, the teacher of life, the messenger of antiquity.

Whatever that be which thinks, understands, wills, and acts, it is something celestial and divine.

Do nothing twice over.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

No one has leave to sin.

The sinews of war are infinite money.
