Law Should Be Like Death, Which Spares

A Love Of The Republic In A Democracy Is A Love Of The Democracy, As The Latter Is That Of Equality. A Love Of The Democracy Is Likewise That Of Frugality. Since Every Individual Ought Here To Enjoy The Same Happiness, And The Same Advantages, They Should Consequently Taste The Same Pleasures And Form The Same Hopes, Which Cannot Be Expected But From A General Frugality.

A Prince Who Loves And Fears Religion Is A Lion Who Stoops To The Hand That Strokes Or To The Voice That Appeases Him. He Who Fears And Hates Religion Is Like The Savage Beast That Growls And Bites The Chain, Which Prevents His Flying On The Passenger. He Who Has No Religion At All Is That Terrible Animal Who Perceives His Liberty Only When He Tears In Pieces, And When He Devours.

If You Would Be Holy, Instruct Your Children, Because All The Good Acts They Perform Will Be Imputed To You.

If You Run After Wit, You Will Succeed In Catching Folly.

There Is No Nation So Powerful, As The One That Obeys Its Laws Not From Principals Of Fear Or Reason, But From Passion.
