My Precept To All Who Build, Is,

The House Should Derive Dignity From The Master, Not The Master From The House.

A Thankful Heart Is Not Only The Greatest Virtue, But The Parent Of All The Other Virtues. [lat., Gratus Animus Est Una Virtus Non Solum Maxima, Sed Etiam Mater Virtutum Onmium Reliquarum.]

Freedom Is Participation In Power.

It Shows A Weak Mind Not To Bear Prosperity As Well As Adversity With Moderation.

I Depart From Life As From An Inn, And Not As From My Home. [lat., Ex Vita Discedo, Tanquam Ex Hospitio, Non Tanquam Ex Domo.]
