I have completed a monument more lasting than brass.
He is not poor who has a competency.
Man learns more readily and remembers more willingly what excites his ridicule than what deserves esteem and respect.
However rich or elevated, a name less something is always wanting to our imperfect fortune.
Posterity, thinned by the crime of its ancestors, shall hear of those battles.
The wolf attacks with his fang, the bull with his horn.
