Society is well governed when the people obey the magistrates, and the magistrates obey the law

True blessedness consists in a good life and a happy death

Men keep agreements when it is to the advantage of neither to break them

Laws are like spiders' webs which, if anything small falls into them they ensnare it, but large things break through and escape

No man is happy. He is, at best, fortunate

No fool can be silent at a feast

I grow old ever learning many things

I grow old learning something new everyday

Speech is the image of actions
