Persevere in the fight, struggle on, do not let go, think magnanimously of man and life, for man is good and life is affluent and fruitful.

Glory fills the world with virtue, and, like a beneficent sun, covers the whole earth with flowers and with fruits.
Magnanimity will not consider the prudence of its motives.
Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself.
