Let us attend to the present, and as to the future we shall know how to manage when the occasion arrives.
It is the crime not the scaffold which is the disgrace.
It is the guilt, not the scaffold, which constitutes the shame.
Among wellborn spirits courage does not depend on age.
Just as We never taste happiness in perfection, our most fortunate successes are mixed with sadness. So too we never taste sadness completely, as things could always be worse in some way and for this we can be grateful.
Violence is just, where kindness is vain.
