Thy destiny is only that of man, but thy aspirations may be those of a god.
It is not easy to bear prosperity unruffled.
Love is no assignment for cowards.
The laws allow arms to be taken against an armed foe.
To wish is of little account; to succeed you must earnestly desire; and this desire must shorten thy sleep.
What is deservedly suffered must be borne with calmness, but when the pain is unmerited, the grief is resistless.
