If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.
Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud.
And if you think my acts are foolishness the foolishness may be in a fool's eye.
I would rather miss the mark acting well than win the day acting basely.
The rewards of virtue alone abide secure.
There is a point beyond which even justice becomes unjust.
