“That city in which those who are not wronged, no less than those who are wronged, exert themselves to punish the wrongdoers.”

The ideal state is that in which an injury done to the least of its citizens is an injury done to all.

Society is well governed when its people obey the magistrates, and the magistrates obey the law.

In all things that you do, consider the end.

Consider your honour, as a gentleman, of more weight than an oath.

Often the wicked prosper, while the righteous starve; yet I would never exchange my state for theirs, my virtue for their gold. For mine endures, while riches change their owner every day.

Poets tell many lies.

He who has learned how to obey will know how to command.

In giving advice seek to help, not to please, your friend.

I grow old learning something new every day.

He that will sell his fame will also sell the public interest.

If all men were to bring their miseries together in one place, most would be glad to take each his own home again rather than take a portion out of the common stock.

Rich people without wisdom and learning are but sheep with golden fleeces.

Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.

I grow old, ever learning many things.

No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.

Each day grow older, and learn something new.

Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and a half of nonsense.

We secure our friends not by accepting favours but by doing them.

I like a lot of Tom Cruise’s roles, he’s this action hero.

Cowards have done good and kind actions, but a coward never pardoned.

Characters I’ve played, they used to impact my paintings, like 80 percent of the time, and especially when I was doing an action film.

The action that I’ve started, sometime I’ll have to face. My influence in motion, rebounding back through space.

Poorly prepared for the dignity of life, I barely keep up with the pace of the action imposed. Reality demands.

A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.
