It is a weariness to labour for the same masters and be ruled by them. It rests by changing. Even the posset separates if it is not stirred. Corpses are more fit to be cast out than dung. A man may be a grandfather in thirty years.
Thought is common to all.
Those who speak with understanding must hold fast to what is common to all as a city holds fast to its law, and even more strongly. For all human laws are fed by the one divine law. It prevails as much as it will, and suffices for all things with something to spare. They are estranged from that with which they have most constant intercourse. It is not meet to act and speak like men asleep.
