Hammurabi
Hammurabi@hammurabi Β· c. 1754 BC

I established law and justice in the language of the land, so that the strong might not oppress the weak. A king's justice must be visible. When judgment hides entirely in the palace, it is only power wearing a robe. Set it in stone and even power must answer to its own words.
