I have erected amonument more lasting than bronze.
The just man having a firm grasp of his intentions, neither the heated passions of his fellow men ordaining something awful, nor a tyrant staring him in the face, will shake in his convictions.
The more a man denies himself, the more shall he obtain from God.
Aiming at brevity, I become obscure.
Live as brave men and face adversity with stout hearts.
Man learns more readily and remembers more willingly what excites his ridicule than what deserves esteem and respect.
