The goodness or badness, justice or injustice, of laws varies of necessity with the constitution of states. This, however, is clear, that the laws must be adapted to the constitutions. But if so, true forms of government will of necessity have just laws, and perverted forms of government will have unjust laws.
Aristotle
Men are marked from the moment of birth to rule or be ruled.
Aristotle
Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.
Aristotle
If men are given food, but no chastisement nor any work, they become insolent.
Aristotle
