Politics affect everyone everywhere. Yet most people do not know how to communicate or think methodically about the issues at hand. What we need is for our thinking to be grounded in the basic framework of order, freedom, justice, and equality. This book contains political thought, covering issues about human nature and its relation to society, the extent to which the powers of the State are justified, the tension between liberty and rights, and the way resources should be distributed.

The serpent, the king, the tiger, the stinging wasp, the small child, the dog owned by other people, and the fool: these seven ought not to be awakened from sleep.
There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease like covetousness, and no virtue like mercy.
We should not fret for what is past, nor should we be anxious about the future; men of discernment deal only with the present moment.
Do not be very upright in your dealings for you would see by going to the forest that straight trees are cut down while crooked ones are left standing.
