Famous men have the whole earth as their memorial.

For a man's counsel cannot have equal weight or worth, when he alone has no children to risk in the general danger.

For heroes have the whole earth for their tomb; and in lands far from their own, where the column with its epitaph declares it, there is enshrined in every breast a record unwritten with no tablet to preserve it, except that of the heart.

Trees, though they are cut and loped, grow up again quickly, but if men are destroyed, it is not easy to get them again

A woman's greatest glory is to be little talked about by men, whether for good or ill.

Wait for the wisest of all counselors, Time.

Better die standing than live kneeling.
