Moral Precepts Are Constant Through The Ages And Not Obedient To Circumstances.

The Idea That The Object Of Constitutions Is Not To Confirm The Predominance Of Any Interest, But To Prevent It; To Preserve With Equal Care The Independence Of Labour And The Security Of Property; To Make The Rich Safe Against Envy, And The Poor Against Oppression, Marks The Highest Level Attained By The Statesmanship Of Greece.
