Laws

Tacitus, Germania 19 (tr. William Peterson):
Good habits have more force with them than good laws elsewhere.

plusque ibi boni mores valent quam alibi bonae leges.
Tacitus, Annals 3.27 (tr. J.C. Yardley):
Laws were most numerous when the state was most corrupt.

corruptissima re publica plurimae leges.
