To win a race, the swiftness of a dart availeth not without a timely start.

Anyone entrusted with power will abuse it if not also animated with the love of truth and virtue, no matter whether he be a prince, or one of the people

Man is so made that when anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish

People must help one another; it is nature's law

Let ignorance talk as it will, learning has its value

There is no road of flowers leading to glory

It is impossible to please all the world and one's father

Everyone believes very easily whatever they fear or desire

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life

A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it
