It isn't so much what's on the table that matters, as what's on the chairs.
Spurn not the nobly born with love affected; nor treat with virtuous scorn the well connected.
When everyone is somebody, then no one's anybody.
Posterity will know as little of me as I know of posterity.
The Law is the true embodiment of everything that's excellent; it has no kind of fault or flaw and I, my Lords, embody the Law.
Posterity shall know of me even less than I shall know of posterity.
