One Cannot Answer For His Courage When

Humility Is The Altar Upon Which God Wishes That We Should Offer Him His Sacrifices.

Hope, Deceiving As It Is, Serves At Least To Lead Us To The End Of Our Lives By An Agreeable Route.

Avarice Is More Opposite To Economy Than Liberality.

Our Probity Is Not Less At The Mercy Of Fortune Than Our Property.
