- The first principle I decided to follow was to obey the laws and customs of my country and to remain steadfast in the faith I was raised in by God’s grace. In everything else, I chose to guide my actions by the most moderate and widely accepted opinions of the wisest people around me, avoiding any extreme views.

Theta Scorpii (θ Scorpii, abbreviated Theta Sco, θ Sco) is a binary star in the southern zodiac constellation of Scorpius. The apparent visual magnitude of this star is +1.87, making it readily visible to the naked eye and one of the brightest stars in the night sky. It is sufficiently near that the distance can be measured directly using the parallax technique and such measurements obtained during the Hipparcos mission yield an estimate of approximately 329 light-years (101 parsecs) from the Sun.
