Punishment closely follows guilt as its companion.

In avoiding one evil we fall into another, if we use not discretion.

The hour of happiness will be the more welcome, the less it was expected.

Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own: he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today. Be fair or foul or rain or shine, the joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine. Not Heaven itself upon the past has power, but what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.

A good and faithful judge ever prefers the honorable to the expedient.

There is measure in all things.

What can be found equal to modesty, uncorrupt faith, the sister of justice, and undisguised truth?
