1.
It is a common law of nature, which no time will ever change, that superiors shall rule their inferiors.
Dionysius of Halicarnassus
6.
The form of government, when it has been prudently established, produces citizens distinguished for bravery, justice, and every other good quality; whereas, on the other hand, bad institutions render men cowardly, rapacious, and slaves of every foul desire.
Dionysius of Halicarnassus
7.
Governments are not overthrown by the poor, who have no power, but by the rich-when they are insulted by their inferiors and cannot obtain justice.
Dionysius of Halicarnassus
