A letter does not blush.

A dissolute and intemperate youth hands down the body to old age in a worn-out state.

Justice consists in doing no injury to men; decency in giving them no offense.

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

The man who is always fortunate cannot easily have a great reverence for virtue.

It is the character of a brave and resolute man not to be ruffled by adversity and not to desert his post.
