Let The Welfare Of The People Be

The Wise Are Instructed By Reason, Average Minds By Experience, The Stupid By Necessity And The Brute By Instinct.

There Is Not A Moment Without Some Duty.

For Out Of Such An Ungoverned Populace One Is Usually Chosen As A Leader, Someone Bold And Unscrupulous Who Curries Favor With The People By Giving Them Other Men's Property. To Such A Man The Protection Of Public Office Is Given, And Continually Renewed. He Emerges As A Tyrant Over The Very People Who Raised Him To Power.

It Is A Man's Own Dishonesty, His Crimes, His Wickedness, And Boldness, That Takes Away From Him Soundness Of Mind; These Are The Furies, These The Flames And Firebrands, Of The Wicked.

The Higher Our Position The More Modestly We Should Behave.
