Truth is often eclipsed but never extinguished.
Fortune blinds men when she does not wish them to withstand the violence of her onslaughts.

Envy, like flames, soars upwards.
A gentleman is mindful no less of the freedom of others than of his own dignity.
Resistance to criminal rashness comes better late than never.
