No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
He that will sell his fame will also sell the public interest.
Learn to obey before you command.
Often the wicked prosper, while the righteous starve; yet I would never exchange my state for theirs, my virtue for their gold. For mine endures, while riches change their owner every day.
The ideal state is that in which an injury done to the least of its citizens is an injury done to all.
