Rigor pushed too far is sure to miss its aim, however good, as the bow snaps that is bent too stiffly.
A brave man hazards life, but not his conscience.
Cowards have done good and kind actions, but a coward never pardoned.
He that is overcautious will accomplish little.
We must bear what Heaven sends.
Joy, in Nature's wide dominion, Mightiest cause of all is found; And 'tis joy that moves the pinion When the wheel of time goes round.
