Longing Not So Much To Change Things

Promises Are Not To Be Kept, If The Keeping Of Them Is To Prove Harmful To Those To Whom You Have Made Them.

The Pursuit, Even Of The Best Things, Ought To Be Calm And Tranquil.

Every Generous Action Loves The Public View; Yet No Theatre For Virtue Is Equal To A Consciousness Of It.

The Men Who Administer Public Affairs Must First Of All See That Everyone Holds Onto What Is His, And That Private Men Are Never Deprived Of Their Goods By Public Men.

Whatever You Do, Do With All Your Might.
