Of boasting more than of a bomb afraid, A soldier should be modest as a maid.
A dedication is a wooden leg.
When pain can't bless, heaven quits us in despair.
The man who consecrates his hours by vigorous effort, and an honest aim, at once he draws the sting of life and Death; he walks with nature; and her paths are peace.
Where boasting ends, there dignity begins.
In an active life is sown the seed of wisdom... And age, if it has not esteem, has nothing.
