Cicero once wrote;
Salus populi suprema lex esto.(the welfare of the people is to be the highest law)

And a probable quote from Marcus Aurelius; 'Sequere pecuniam' or 'follow the money' or {In an effort to understand why things may be happening contrary to expectations, or even in alignment with them, this idiom suggests that keeping track of where money is going may show the basis for the observed behavior. Similar in spirit to the phrase cui bono (who gains?) or cui prodest (who advances?), but outside those phrases' historically legal context}.

Marcus wrote this quote in his book of meditations
Whatever anyone does or says I must be a good man. It is as if an emerald, or gold or purple we are always saying "whatever anyone does or says, I must be an emerald and keep my own colour"

It is a very great mistake to imagine that the object of loyalty is the authority and interest of one individual man, however dignified by the applause or enriched by the success of popular actions.

For all his rights and wrongs (and for that he had many) Winston Churchill made one great Statement which was "an appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last"

My wise father taught me something else:

If you don't have something good to say about someone, shut up. Whatever bad things you say, will came back and haunt you.
