Be wise; Soar not too high to fall; but stoop to rise.
Like a rough orator, that brings more truth than rhetoric, to make good his accusation.
He is not valiant that dares die, but he that boldly bears calamity.
Patience, the beggar's virtue, shall find no harbor here.
To doubt is worse than to have lost; And to despair is but to antedate those miseries that must fall on us.
Death hath a thousand doors to let out life: I shall find one.
