In marriage do thou be wise: prefer the person before money, virtue before beauty, the mind before the body; then thou hast a wife, a friend, a companion, a second self.
Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man.
Between a man and his wife nothing ought to rule but love. Authority is for children and servants, yet not without sweetness.
A good End cannot sanctify evil Means; nor must we ever do Evil, that Good may come of it.
Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants.
Justice is the insurance which we have on our lives and property. Obedience is the premium which we pay for it.
