Many things have fallen only to rise higher.

Wisdom comes to no one by chance.

Whatever is to make us better and happy God has placed either openly before us or close to us.

Real improvement is of slow growth only.

The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. It is more powerful than external circumstances.

It is not poverty that we praise, it is the man whom poverty cannot humble or bend.

Prudence will punish to prevent crime, not to avenge it.
