The bold adventurer succeeds the best.

To wish is of little account; to succeed you must earnestly desire; and this desire must shorten thy sleep.

Bear and endure: This sorrow will one day prove to be for your good.

Love will enter cloaked in friendship's name.

Note too that a faithful study of the liberal arts humanizes character and permits it not to be cruel.

As long as you are lucky, you will have many friends; if cloudy times appear, you will be alone. -Donec eris felix, multos numerabis amicos; tempora si fuerint nubila, solus eris

He who would not be idle, let him fall in love.
