Laws do not persuade just because they threaten.
On him does death lie heavily, who, but too well known to all, dies to himself unknown.
It is proof of a bad cause when it is applauded by the mob.
Who shrinks from knowledge of his calamities but aggravates his fear; troubles half seen, shall torture all the more.
Fortune dreads the brave, and is only terrible to the coward.
Every guilty person is his own hangman.
