Nor has he lived in vain, who from his cradle to his grave has passed his life in seclusion.

Carpe diem! Rejoice while you are alive; enjoy the day; live life to the fullest; make the most of what you have. It is later than you think.

No man ever properly calculates from time to time what it is his duty to avoid.

There is a proper measure in all things, certain limits beyond which and short of which right is not to be found. Who so cultivates the golden mean avoids the poverty of a hovel and the envy of a palace.

Live as brave men and face adversity with stout hearts.

Fierce eagles breed not the tender dove.

Let us both small and great push forward in this work, in this pursuit, if to our country, if to ourselves we would live dear.
