If wisdom be attainable, let us not only win but enjoy it.
What an ugly beast the ape, and how like us.
Summer lasts not for ever; seasons succeed each other.
The safety of the people shall be the highest law.
Let us not go over the old ground but rather prepare for what is to come.
In men of the highest character and noblest genius there is to be found an insatiable desire for honor, command, power, and glory.
