The Only Path To A Tranquil Life

Let Me Moderate Our Sorrows. The Grief Of A Man Should Not Exceed Proper Bounds, But Be In Proportion To The Blow He Has Received. [lat., Ponamus Nimios Gemitus: Flagrantior Aequo Non Debet Dolor Esse Viri, Nec Vulnere Major.]

It Is Not Easy For Men To Rise Whose Qualities Are Thwarted By Poverty.

Vice Can Deceive Under The Guise And Shadow Of Virtue.

He Who Meditates A Crime Secretly Within Himself Has All The Guilt Of The Act.

Rare Is The Union Of Beauty And Purity. [lat., Rara Est Adeo Concordia Formae Atque Pudicitiae.]
