A King Ruleth As He

Goodness Is To Do Good To The Deserving And Love The Good And Hate The Wicked, And Not To Be Eager To Inflict Punishment Or Take Vengeance, But To Be Gracious And Kindly And Forgiving.

Tyrants Preserve Themselves By Sowing Fear And Mistrust Among The Citizens By Means Of Spies, By Distracting Them With Foreign Wars, By Eliminating Men Of Spirit Who Might Lead A Revolution, By Humbling The People, And Making Them Incapable Of Decisive Action.

Think As Wise Men Do, But Speak As The Common People Do.

It May Be Argued That Peoples For Whom Philosophers Legislate Are Always Prosperous.

Great Is The Good Fortune Of A State In Which The Citizens Have A Moderate And Sufficient Property.
