I shall always esteem it not much to live in a city where the laws do less than men, because that fatherland is desirable where possessions and friends can be securely enjoyed, not where they can be easily taken from you, and friends for few of thems.

  • -- Niccolò Machiavelli 尼科尔·马基雅维利

我将永远认为,生活在一个法律不如人的城市里并没有多大的价值,因为祖国是可取的,在那里财产和朋友可以安全地享有,而不是轻易地从你那里夺走,而朋友只属于少数人。
