No treaty is ever an impediment to a cheat.
From Sophocles
No one who errs unwillingly is evil.
It is a base thing for a man among the people not to obey those in command. Never in a state can the laws be well administered when fear does not stand firm.
Whoever gets up and comes to grips with Love like a boxer is a fool.
Whoever thinks his friend more important than his country, I rate him nowhere.
All is disgust when a man leaves his own nature and does what is unfit.
For shameful deeds are taught by shameful deeds.
Man is not constituted to take pleasure in the same things always.
Hide nothing, for time, which sees all and hears all, exposes all.
But whoever gives birth to useless children, what would you say of him except that he has bred sorrows for himself, and furnishes laughter for his enemies.
