If We Only Wanted To Be Happy,

Vanity And Pride Of Nations; Vanity Is As Advantageous To A Government As Pride Is Dangerous.

Liberty... Is There Only When There Is No Abuse Of Power.

Men In Excess Of Happiness Or Misery Are Equally Inclined To Severity. Witness Conquerors And Monks! It Is Mediocrity Alone, And A Mixture Of Prosperous And Adverse Fortune That Inspire Us With Lenity And Pity.

...when The Laws Have Ceased To Be Executed, As This Can Only Come From The Corruption Of The Republic, The State Is Already Lost.

One More Organ Or One Less In Our Body Would Give Us A Different Intelligence. In Fact, All The Established Laws As To Why Our Body Is A Certain Way Would Be Different If Our Body Were Not That Way.
