A Good Man May Make The Best

Every Rascal Is Not A Thief, But Every Thief Is A Rascal.

Distance Does Not Break Off The Friendship Absolutely, But Only The Activity Of It.

It Is No Easy Task To Be Good.

He Who Thus Considers Things In Their First Growth And Origin ... Will Obtain The Clearest View Of Them.

Take The Case Of Just Actions; Just Punishments And Chastisements Do Indeed Spring From A Good Principle, But They Are Good Only Because We Cannot Do Without Them - It Would Be Better That Neither Individuals Nor States Should Need Anything Of The Sort - But Actions Which Aim At Honor And Advantage Are Absolutely The Best. The Conditional Action Is Only The Choice Of A Lesser Evil; Whereas These Are The Foundation And Creation Of Good. A Good Man May Make The Best Even Of Poverty And Disease, And The Other Ills Of Life.
