No Fool Can Be Silent At A

Laws Are Like Spider's Webs: If Some Poor Weak Creature Comes Up Against Them, It Is Caught; But A Big One Can Break Through And Get Away.

Often The Wicked Prosper, While The Righteous Starve; Yet I Would Never Exchange My State For Theirs, My Virtue For Their Gold. For Mine Endures, While Riches Change Their Owner Every Day.

If Things Are Going Well, Religion And Legislation Are Beneficial; If Not, They Are Of No Avail.

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.

No Man Is Happy; He Is At Best Fortunate.
