Additional quotes by Solon

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

Watch well each separate citizen,
Lest having in his heart of hearts
A secret spear, one still may come
Saluting you with cheerful face,
And utter with a double tongue
The feigned good wishes of his wary mind.

Rule, after you have first learned to submit to rule.
