|  I courted fame but as a spur to brave and honest deeds; who despises fame will soon renounce the virtues that deserve it. | | A sovereign's great example forms a people; the public breast is noble or vile as he inspires it. | | Who hath not known ill fortune, never knew himself, or his own virtue. | | The wailing owl Screams solitary to the mournful moon. | | Affliction is the wholesome soil of virtue, where patience, honor, sweet humility, and calm fortitude, take root and strongly flourish. | | Uncertainty! fell demon of our fears! The human soul that can support despair, supports not thee. | | True valor, on virtue founded strong, meets all events alike. |
