In All Things Let Reason Be Your

For Often Evil Men Are Rich, And Good Men Poor; But We Will Not Exchange With Them Our Virtue For Their Wealth Since One Abides Always, While Riches Change Their Owners Every Day.

What Thou Seest, Speak Of With Caution.

Laws Are Like Spiders Webs Which, If Anything Small Falls Into Them They Ensnare It, But Large Things Break Through And Escape.

Put More Trust In Nobility Of Character Than In An Oath.

Men Keep Their Agreements When It Is An Advantage To Both Parties Not To Break Them; And I Shall So Frame My Laws That It Will Be Evident To The Athenians That It Will Be For Their Interest To Observe Them.
