Do not doubt a woman's power to aid; no toil Can daunt a pure affection..

Virtue herself is her own fairest reward..

Nothing fairer than peace is given to man to know; Better one peace than countless triumphs.

Groundless superstition ill befits an army; valor is the only deity that rules in the warrior's breast..

Take the word of experience, I speak the truth: inaction is safest in danger..

Neither the wrath of Heaven nor the attacks of enemies are as fatal as Pleasure alone when she infects the mind..

Where two take counsel there is no lack of plans..

It is when we are in misery that we revere the gods; the prosperous seldom approach the altar..

Make haste! The tide of Fortune soon ebbs..
