If you would have me weep, you must first of all feel grief yourself.
The brave are born from the brave and good. In steers and in horses is to be found the excellence of their sire; nor do savage eagles produce a peaceful dove.

To have begun is half the job; be bold and be sensible.
Smooth out with wine the worries of a wrinkled brow.
