Seek to learn constantly while you live; do not wait in the faith that old age by itself will bring wisdom.
Justice, even if slow, is sure.
No more good must be attempted than the nation can bear
Learn to obey before you command.
If through your vices you afflicted are, Lay not the blame of your distress on God; You made your rulers mighty, gave them guards, So now you groan 'neath slavery's heavy rod.
Call no man happy until he is dead.
