Tears Ready To Do Duty At A

One Has No Protecting Power Save Prudence. [lat., Nullum Numen Habes Si Sit Prudentia.]

When Did Reason Ever Direct Our Desires Or Our Fears?

There Will He Nothing More That Posterity Can Add To Our Immoral Habits; Our Descendants Must Have The Same Desires And Act The Same Follies As Their Sires. Every Vice Has Reached Its Zenith.

This Is His First Punishment, That By The Verdict Of His Own Heart No Guilty Man Is Acquitted.

Ask For A Valiant Heart Which Has Banished The Fear Of Death, Which Looks Upon Length Of Days As One Of The Least Of Nature's Gifts; Which Is Able To Suffer Every Kind Of Hardship, Is Proof Against Anger, Craves For Nothing, And Reckons The Trials And Gruelling Labours Of Hercules As More Desirable Blessings Than The Amorous Ease And The Banquets And Cushions Of Sardanapallus. The Things That I Recommend You Can Grant To Yourself.
