German
Und deshalb gilt die Gerechtigkeit als oberster unter den Vorzügen des Charakters, und ‚weder Abend- noch Morgenstern sind so wundervoll.’ Und im Sprichwort heißt es: ‚In der Gerechtigkeit ist jeglicher Vorzug beschlossen.’

French
Et c'est pourquoi souvent on considère la justice comme la plus parfaite des vertus, et ni l'étoile du soir, ni l'étoile du matin ne sont ainsi admirables. Nous avons encore l'expression proverbiale : « Dans la justice est en somme toute vertu ».
