My friends, whoever has had experience of evils knows how whenever a flood of ills comes upon mortals, a man fears everything; but whenever a divine force cheers on our voyage, then we believe that the same fate will always blow fair.

For not many men, the proverb saith, can love a friend whom fortune prospereth unenvying.

Call no man happy till he is dead.

Honor modesty more than your life.

Success is man's god.

Words are the physicians of a mind diseased.

God ever works with those who work with will.
