Society Is Well Governed When Its People

Watch Well Each Separate Citizen, Lest Having In His Heart Of Hearts A Secret Spear, One Still May Come Saluting You With Cheerful Face, And Utter With A Double Tongue The Feigned Good Wishes Of His Wary Mind.

He Who Has Learned How To Obey Will Know How To Command.

Chide A Friend In Private And Praise Him In Public.

Many Evil Men Are Rich, And Good Men Poor, But We Shall Not Exchange With Them Our Excellence For Riches.

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.
