Those who easily forgive invite offenses.
A good memory is needed after one has lied.
He who does not fear death cares naught for threats.
When there is no peril in the fight there is no glory in the triumph.
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.
To die for one's country is such a worthy fate that all compete for so beautiful a death.
