The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death.

No phase of life, whether public or private, can be free from duty.

If only every man would make proper use of his strength and do his utmost, he need never regret his limited ability.

True glory takes root, and even spreads; all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground; nor can any counterfeit last long.

The aim of justice is to give everyone his due.

The harvest of old age is the recollection and abundance of blessing previously secured.

We all are imbued with the love of praise.
