Some Things The Legislator Must Find Ready To His Hand In A State, Others He Must Provide.

A City Can Be Virtuous Only When The Citizens Who Have A Share In The Government Are Virtuous, And In Our State All The Citizens Share In The Government.

A Good Man May Make The Best Even Of Poverty And Disease, And The Other Ills Of Life; But He Can Only Attain Happiness Under The Opposite Conditions

The Whole Is More Than The Sum Of Its Parts.
