I attempt an arduous task but there is no worth in that which is not a difficult achievement
Courage conquers all things.
At times it is folly to hasten at other times, to delay. The wise do everything in its proper time.
Simplicity is a jewel rarely found.
Nations and empires flourish and decay, By turns command, and in their turns obey.
Let ancient times delight other folk, I rejoice that I was not born till now.
