Never utter the truism but live it among men.

Society is frivolous, and shreds its day into scraps, its conversation into ceremonies and escapes.

The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war.

Strong men greet war, tempest, hard times. They wish, as Pindar said, to tread the floors of hell, with necessities as hard as iron.

No matter how often defeated, you are born to victory.

Talents differ; all is well and wisely put; If I cannot carry forests on my back, Neither can you crack a nut.
