Let us seize, friends, our opportunity from the day as it passes.
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.
Life is largely a matter of expectation.
Riches are first to be sought for; after wealth, virtue.
Your property is in danger when your neighbour's house is on fire.
A poem is like a painting.
