He On Whom Heaven Confers A Sceptre

In Recounting Our Woes, We Often Soothe Them.

Force Is Legitimate Where Gentleness Avails Not.

I Have Deserved Neither So Much Honor Or So Much Disgrace.

A Good Memory Is Needed Once We Have Lied. [fr., Il Faut Bonne Memoire Apres Qu'on A Menti.]

Let Us Attend To The Present, And As To The Future We Shall Know How To Manage When The Occasion Arrives.
