Ignorance Can Be Cured, But Stupidity Is

Comedy Is Allied To Justice.

Do Not Bandy Words With Your Father, Nor Treat Him As A Dotard, Nor Reproach The Old Man, Who Has Cherished You, With His Age.

Shall I Crack Any Of Those Old Jokes, Master, At Which The Audience Never Fail To Laugh?

Look At The Orators In Our Republics; As Long As They Are Poor, Both State And People Can Only Praise Their Uprightness; But Once They Are Fattened On The Public Funds, They Conceive A Hatred For Justice, Plan Intrigues Against The People And Attack The Democracy.

Do Not Take A Blind Guide.
