We Should Often Blush At Our Noblest

As We Grow Older, We Increase In Folly--and In Wisdom.

Ability Wins Us The Esteem Of The True Men; Luck, That Of The People.

One Honor Won Is A Surety For More.

The Vices Enter Into The Composition Of The Virtues, As Poisons Into That Of Medicines. Prudence Collects And Arranges Them, And Uses Them Beneficially Against The Ills Of Life.

One Cannot Answer For His Courage When He Has Never Been In Danger.
