Who Will Be My Equal?

Nothing So Upholds The Laws As The Punishment Of Persons Whose Rank Is As Great As Their Crime.

Harshness Towards Individuals Who Flout The Laws And Commands Of The State Is For The Public Good; No Greater Crime Against The Public Interest Is Possible Than To Show Leniency To Those Who Violate It.

First, All Means To Conciliate; Failing That, All Means To Crush.

Not The Least Of The Qualities That Go Into The Making Of A Great Ruler Is The Ability Of Letting Others Serve Him.

Friendship Is The Medicine For All Misfortune; But Ingratitude Dries Up The Fountain Of All Goodness.
