The man whom heaven helps has friends enough.

The brave venture anything.

Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand.

Let no one think of me that I am humble or weak or passive; let them understand I am of a different kind: dangerous to my enemies, loyal to my friends. To such a life glory belongs.

Learned we may be with another man's learning: we can only be wise with wisdom of our own: [I hate a sage who is not wise for himself]

Character is "a stamp of good repute on a person."

Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other.
