How much does great prosperity overspread the mind with darkness. [Lat., Quantum caliginis mentibus nostris objicit magna felicitas!]

When God has once begun to throw down the prosperous, He overthrows them altogether: such is the end of the mighty. [Lat., Semel profecto premere felices deus Cum coepit, urget; hos habent magna exitus.]

We become wiser by adversity; prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right.

Revenge is an inhuman word. [Lat., Inhumanum verbum est ultio.]

Prosperity asks for fidelity; adversity exacts it. [Lat., Poscunt fidem secunda, at adversa exigunt.]

Fidelity bought with money is overcome by money. [Lat., Pretio parata vincitur pretio fides.]
