More quotes by Periander
Because to abdicate it voluntarily, and to have it taken from one, are both dangerous.
Punish not only those who do wrong, but those who intend to do so.
Be the same to your friends when they are prosperous, and when they are unfortunate.
Whatever you agree to do, observe.—Do not divulge secrets.
