If through your vices you afflicted are, Lay not the blame of your distress on God; You made your rulers mighty, gave them guards, So now you groan 'neath slavery's heavy rod.
To make an empire durable, the magistrates must obey the laws and the people the magistrates.
Wealth breeds satiety, satiety outrage.
Learn to obey before you command.
Satiety comes of riches and contumaciousness of satiety.
A half truth is the worst of all lies,because it can be defended in partiality.
