Posterity, thinned by the crime of its ancestors, shall hear of those battles.
Aiming at brevity, I become obscure.
Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone.
The glory is for those who deserve.
One gains universal applause who mingles the useful with the agreeable, at once delighting and instructing the reader.
Happy and thrice happy are those who enjoy an uninterrupted union, and whose love, unbroken by any sour complaints, shall not dissolve until the last day of their existence.
