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.

Deem no man happy until he passes the edo fhis life without suffering grief.

A lie never lives to be old.

There is no success without hardship.

Without labor nothing prospers.

If to some my tale seems foolishness I am content that such could count me fool.

I would rather miss the mark acting well than win the day acting basely.
