"The law is reason, free from passion...." - Quote by Aristotle

“To die, and thus avoid poverty or love, or anything painful, is not the part of a brave man, but rather of a coward; for it is cowardice to avoid trouble, and the suicide does not undergo death because it is honorable, but in order to avoid evil.”

“Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.”

“It is more difficult to organize a peace than to win a war; but the fruits of victory will be lost if the peace is not organized.”

“It is not the purpose of a juryman's office to give justice as a favor to whoever seems good to him, but to judge according to law, and this he has sworn to do.”

“Softly! Softly! I want none but the judges to hear me. The Jews have already gotten me into a fine mess, as they have many other gentleman. I have no desire to furnish further grist for their mills.”

“Only law can give us freedom.”

“A little flesh, a little breath, and a Reason to rule all - that is myself.”

“Thought makes the whole dignity of man; therefore endeavor to think well, that is the only morality.”

“Reason and Knowledge have always played a secondary, subordinate, auxiliary role in the life of peoples, and this will always be the case. A people is shaped and driven forward by an entirely different kind of force, one which commands and coerces them and the origin of which is obscure and inexplicable despite the reality of its presence.”
