An able conductor of Souldiers, is of great Price in time of War present, or imminent; but in Peace not so.

A learned and uncorrupt Judge, is much Worth in time of Peace; but not so much in War.

And as in other things, so in men, not the seller, but the buyer determines the Price.

For let a man (as most men do,) rate themselves as the highest Value they can; yet their true Value is no more than it is esteemed by others.
The manifestation of the Value we set on one another, is that which is commonly called Honouring, and Dishonouring.

To Value a man at a high rate, is to Honour him; at a low rate, is to Dishonour him.
