As far as the earth is from the stars, and fire from the sea, so is the useful from the right. Power over men perishes completely if justice begins to be observed, and respect for individual rights overcomes strongholds.

Make us enemies of every people on earth, but save us from civil war.

Poverty fled, she who gives birth to virile men.

Some men by ancestry are only the shadow of a mighty name.

The prosperous man does not know whether he is loved.

By boldness great fears are cancealed.
