Time is the wisest counselor of all.

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

Not to be able to bear poverty is a shameful thing, but not to know how to chase it away by work is a more shameful thing yet.

The whole earth is the tomb of heroic men and their story is not given only on stone over their clay but abides everywhere without visible symbol woven into the stuff of other mens lives.

Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it.

As for poverty, no one need be ashamed to admit it, the real shame is in not taking practical measures to escape from it.

It is difficult to argue with the belly, for it has no ears.
