No man will revel long in the indulgence of crime.

Can we wonder that men perish and are forgotten when their noblest and most enduring works decay?

Begin: To have commenced is half the deed. Half yet remains; Begin again on this and thou wilt finish all.

If you are a terror to many, then beware of many.

Every stage of life has its troubles, and no man is content with his own age.

If lucky be not proud; if unlucky, do not despond.

Be not arrogant when fortune smiles, or dejected when she frowns.
