Cato, being scurrilously treated by a low and vicious fellow, quietly said to him, "A contest between us is very unequal, for thou canst bear ill language with ease, and return it with pleasure; but to me it is unusual to hear, and disagreeable to speak it." There are none more abusive to others than they that lie most open to it themselves; but the humor goes round, and he that laughs at me today will have somebody to laugh at him tomorrow.

We are born subjects, and to obey God is perfect liberty. He that does this shall be free, safe and happy.

The heart is great which shows moderation in the midst of prosperity.

The mind makes the nobleman, and uplifts the lowly to high degree.

Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart.

Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.

We have been born under a monarchy; to obey God is freedom.
