Nature gives liberty even to dumb animals.
You might believe a good man easily, a great man with pleasure. -Bonum virum facile crederes, magnum libenter
The hatred of those who are near to us is most violent.
All bodies are slow in growth but rapid in decay.
Reason and judgment are the qualities of a leader.
Benefits received are a delight to us as long as we think we can requite them; when that possibility is far exceeded, they are repaid with hatred instead of gratitude.
