Of boasting more than of a bomb afraid, A soldier should be modest as a maid.

Where, where for shelter shall the guilty fly, When consternation turns the good man pale?

Nothing but what astonishes is true.

Thy purpose firm is equal to the deed: Who does the best his circumstance allows Does well, acts nobly; angels could no more.

All men think that all men are mortal but themselves.

The weak have remedies, the wise have joys; superior wisdom is superior bliss.

Prayer ardent opens heaven.
