- Potentia debet sequi justitiam, non antecedere
- Power ought to follow justice, it ought not to precede it. Potentia est duplex, remota et propinqua; et potentia remotissima et vana est quae nunquam venit in actum. Possibility is double, remote and near; that which never comes into action is a power the most remote and vain.
