Roman, remember that you shall rule the nations by your authority, for this is to be your skill, to make peace the custom, to spare the conquered, and to wage war until the haughty are brought low.

All our sweetest hours fly fastest.

The only safety for the conquered is to expect no safety.

Endure, and keep yourselves for days of happiness.

Uneven numbers are the gods' delight.

Yield not to calamity, but face her boldly.

Do not yield to misfortunes, but advance more boldly to meet them, as your fortune permits you.
