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.

The greater the effort, the greater the glory.

Flee an enemy who knows your weakness.

Heaven often regulates effects by their causes, and pays the wicked what they have deserved.

If anyone wants to know what elephants are like, they are like people only more so.

Violence is just, where kindness is vain.

It is the gift of heaven and not of reason.
