Let us now turn to the Ten Commandments of Solon (Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers, 1.60), which run as follows:
1. Trust good character more than promises. 2. Do not speak falsely. 3. Do good things. 4. Do not be hasty in making friends, but do not abandon them once made. 5. Learn to obey before you command. 6. When giving advice, do not recommend what is most pleasing, but what is most useful. 7. Make reason your supreme commander. 8. Do not associate with people who do bad things. 9. Honor the gods. 10. Have regard for your parents.

1. Can't argue with wise advice like this |

Actually, no problem with the Ten Commandments, either; good stuff, just not appropriate for the Alabama courthouse (or many other places, either). Hey, HawkerHurricane - Do you think the Lions would benefit from these commandments?

Other than the running back controversy a few years back (Barry Sanders?), I couldn't say.
