The high-spirited man may indeed die, but he will not stoop to meanness. Fire, though it may be quenched, will not become cool.

Imperceptibly the hours glide on, and beguile us as they pass.

The result justifies the deed.

The punishment can be remitted; the crime is everlasting.

Fortune and love favor the brave.

The result proves the wisdom of the act.

Brass shines with constant usage, a beautiful dress needs wearing,Leave a house empty, it rots.
