Woe To The Conquered.

Avarice And Luxury, Those Evils Which Have Been The Ruin Of Every Great State.

Law Is A Thing Which Is Insensible, And Inexorable, More Beneficial And More Profitious To The Weak Than To The Strong; It Admits Of No Mitigation Nor Pardon, Once You Have Overstepped Its Limits.
