Four pillars

"These four pillars uphold the world:
The wisdom of the learned,
The justice of the mighty,
The prayers of the righteous,
And the valor of the brave."
--an inscription on the gate of the University of Granada,
Moorish Spain, AD 1349

    I think that missed...

    "The treachery of the traitors,
    The lechery of the perverse,
    The laziness of the sloths,
    And the corruption of the politicians."

    Heh. I don't think those are upholding the world, exactly.
