A Nation Can Survive Its Fools, And

It Is A Great Thing To Know Your Vices.

For The Laws Are Dumb In The Midst Of Arms.

For What Is There More Hideous Than Avarice, More Brutal Than Lust, More Contemptible Than Cowardice, More Base Than Stupidity And Folly?

Non Nobis Solum Nati Sumus. (not For Ourselves Alone Are We Born.)

It Is Virtue, Virtue, Which Both Creates And Preserves Friendship. On It Depends Harmony Of Interest, Permanence, Fidelity.
