I noticed that through out all these readings, the philosophers had most certainly come the closest to the truth, trying to define the perfect "God" and ways of ruling. I find that what Plato said is true in these instances, that the happiest men are the philosophers, they strive for really nothing but the truth. It's just so interesting to see how alike Romans and Greeks thought.
Also, Cicero proves some great points, such as law and justice, and the differences between and the similarities with them.

Could you give some examples? I'm not sure I take your meaning . . .

As for the differences between justice and law they are defined well in book four. Justice is something that we should always strive for, but the definition of it changes in each society. Law is a rule we have to follow, if not there are consequences. Because justice changes with each society and law is only enforced by punishment, we should strive for God's law virtue.
