Every man should bear his own grievances rather than detract from the comforts of another.
Marcus Tullius CiceroThe men who administer public affairs must first of all see that everyone holds onto what is his, and that private men are never deprived of their goods by public men.
Marcus Tullius CiceroJust what is the civil law?
