Neither soldiers nor money can defend a king but only friends won by good deeds, merit, and honesty.
In battle it is the cowards who run the most risk; bravery is a rampart of defense.
Fame is the shadow of passion standing in the light
In my opinion, he only may be truly said to live and enjoy his being who is engaged in some laudable pursuit, and acquires a name by some illustrious action, or useful art.
All who consult on doubtful matters, should be void of hatred, friendship, anger, and pity.
It is a law of human nature that in victory even the coward may boast of his prowess, while defeat injures the reputation even of the brave.
