What you can't enforce, do not command.

It is a base thing for a man among the people not to obey those in command. Never in a state can the laws be well administered when fear does not stand firm.

All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.

Profit is sweet, even if it comes from deception.

I cannot love a friend whose love is words.

What men have seen they know. . . .

It is hope that maintains most of mankind.
