Govern your temper, which will rule you unless kept in subjection.
It is a sweet and seemly thing to die for one's country.
I shall strike the stars with my uplifted head.
Capture the day, put minimum trust on tomorrow.
Whatever you teach, be brief; what is quickly said, the mind readily receives and faithfully retains, everything superfluous runs over as from a full vessel.
Shun to seek what is hid in the womb of the morrow, and set down as gain in life's ledger whatever time fate shall have granted thee.
