If I have done any honorable exploit, that is my monument; but if I have done none, all your statues will signify nothing..

Royalty consists not in vain pomp, but in great virtues.

If I have done any deed worthy of remembrance, that deed will be my monument. If not, no monument can preserve my memory..

I shall show that the place does not honor the man, but the man the place..

Valor would cease to be a virtue, if there were no injustice..

By sowing frugality we reap liberty, a golden harvest..

If all men were just there would be no need of valor..
