Daring is not safe against daring men.
Gutta cavat lapidem, non vi sed saepe cadendo. (The drop excavates the stone, not with force but by falling often.)
There is a deity within us who breathes that divine fire by which we are animated.
One does not yearn for that which is easily acquired.
We are slow to believe that which if believed would hurt our feelings.
It is not easy to bear prosperity unruffled.
