Difficulty is what wakes up the genius.
Happy the man who ventures boldly to defend what he holds dear.
Consider the misfortunes of others, and you will be the better able to bear your own.
Time glides away and as we get older through the noiseless years; the days flee and are restrained by no reign.
There is no such thing as pure pleasure; some anxiety always goes with it.
If he did not succeed, he at least failed in a glorious undertaking.
