Present Sufferings Seem Far Greater To Men

Envy, Like Flames, Soars Upwards.

We Feel Public Misfortunes Just So Far As They Affect Our Private Circumstances, And Nothing Of This Nature Appeals More Directly To Us Than The Loss Of Money.

In Adversity Assume The Countenance Of Prosperity, And In Prosperity Moderate The Temper And Desires.

A Certain Peace Is Better And Safer Than A Victory In Prospect; The Former Is At Your Own Disposal, The Latter Depends Upon The Gods.

Truth Is Often Eclipsed But Never Extinguished.
