Long pains, with use of bearing, are half eased.
Few know the use of life before 'tis past.
Shame on the body for breaking down while the spirit perseveres.
Heroic poetry has ever been esteemed the greatest work of human nature.
Great souls forgive not injuries till time has put their enemies within their power, that they may show forgiveness is their own.
Be slow to resolve, but quick in performance.
