The Soul Is Characterized By These Capacities; Self-nutrition, Sensation, Thinking, And Movement.

Moral Qualities Are So Constituted As To Be Destroyed By Excess And By Deficiency . . .

Even If We Could Suppose The Citizen Body To Be Virtuous, Without Each Of Them Being So, Yet The Latter Would Be Better, For In The Virtue Of Each The Virtue Of All Is Involved.

Even If You Must Have Regard To Wealth, In Order To Secure Leisure, Yet It Is Surely A Bad Thing That The Greatest Offices, Such As Those Of Kings And Generals, Should Be Bought. The Law Which Allows This Abuse Makes Wealth Of More Account Than Virtue, And The Whole State Becomes Avaricious.

All Virtue Is Summed Up In Dealing Justly.
