RANDOM SENTENCES(quotes) FOUND ON FLOOR-clean sweep
[Anacharsis] laughed at him [Solon] for imaginin the dishonesty and covetousness of him countrymen could be restrained by written laws, which were like spider's webs, and would catch, it is true, the weak and the poor, but easily be broken by the mighty and rich.-Anacharsis 600bc

Sometimes give your services for nothing, calling to mind a previous benefaction or present satisfaction. And if there be an opportunity of serving one who is a stranger iin finacial straights, give full assistance to all such. For where there is love of man, there is also love the art. For some patients, though consciousof that their condition is perilous, recover their health simply through their contentment with the goodness of the physician and it is well to superintend the sick to make them well, to care for the healthy to keep them well, also to care for one's own self, so as to observe what is seemly.-Hippocrates 400-377bc precepts
not sure why i wrote that one down.
