Do not believe that you alone can be right.The man who thinks that,The man who maintains that only he has the powerTo reason correctly, the gift to speak, the soul-A man like that, when you know him, turns out empty.

It is hope that maintains most of mankind.

Who feels no ills, should, therefore, fear them; and when fortune smiles, be doubly cautious, lest destruction come remorseless on him, and he fall unpitied.

Fortune is not on the side of the faint-hearted.

The rewards of virtue alone abide secure.

Opportunity has power over all things.

What fate can be worse than to know we have no one but ourselves to blame for our misfortunes!
