To Make An Empire Durable, The Magistrates

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.

In All Things That You Do, Consider The End.

True Blessedness Consisteth In A Good Life And A Happy Death.

If All Men Were To Bring Their Miseries Together In One Place, Most Would Be Glad To Take Each His Own Home Again Rather Than Take A Portion Out Of The Common Stock.
