Justice is the foundation of all laws and the cornerstone of a just society.
Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company.
The nation that expects to be ignorant and free, expects what never was and never will be.
A good government must be founded on the principle of justice and liberty for all its citizens.
