Maxim 78
 
 
  The padshah is to remove oppressors; the police, murderers; and
the qazi to hear complaints about thieves; but two enemies willing
to agree to what is right will not apply to him.
 
 
        When thou seest that it must be given what is right
        Pay it rather with grace than fighting and distressed.
        If a man pays not his tax of his own accord
        The officer's man will take it by force.
