Let a ruler base his government upon virtuous principles, and he will be like the pole-star, which remains steadfast in its place, while all the host of stars turn towards it

Stars are holes in the sky from which the light of the infinite shines.

Ignorance is the night of the mind, but a night without moon or star.

He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.

To be excellent when engaged in administration is to be like the North Star. As it remains in its one position, all the other stars surround it.

Justice is like the north star, which is fixed, and all the rest revolve about it.
