The Perfection Of Art Is To Conceal

Lately We Have Had Many Losses.

When Defeat Is Inevitable, It Is Wisest To Yield.

A Laugh Costs Too Much When Bought At The Expense Of Virtue.

We Must Form Our Minds By Reading Deep Rather Than Wide.

Although Virtue Receives Some Of Its Excellencies From Nature, Yet It Is Perfected By Education. [lat., Virtus, Etiamsi Quosdam Impetus A Natura Sumit, Tamen Perficienda Doctrina Est.]
