Men's Minds Are Too Ready To Excuse

Present Sufferings Seem Far Greater To Men Than Those They Merely Dread.

In Grave Difficulties, And With Little Hope, The Boldest Measures Are The Safest.

No Wickedness Proceeds On Any Grounds Of Reason.

Wit Is The Flower Of The Imagination.

Shared Danger Is The Strongest Of Bonds; It Will Keep Men United In Spite Of Mutual Dislike And Suspicion.
