Let us be brave in the face of adversity.
If a man does not know what port he is steering for, no wind is favorable to him.
The sun also shines on the wicked.
When in fear, it is safest to force the attack.
We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed! What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired?
The road to learning by precept is long, but by example short and effective.
