“Justice is the loveliest and health is the best, but the sweetest to obtain is the heart's desire.”

“At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.”

“For man, when perfected, is the best of animals, but, when separated from law and justice, he is the worst of all; since armed injustice is the more dangerous, and he is equipped at birth with the arms of intelligence and with moral qualities which he may use for the worst ends. Wherefore, if he have not virtue, he is the most unholy and the most savage of animals, and the most full of lust and gluttony. But justice is the bond of men in states, and the administration of justice, which is the determination of what is just, is the principle of order in political society.”

“It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.”

“The weak are always anxious for justice and equality. The strong pay no heed to either.”

“Man is his desire.”

“All men by nature desire to know.”
