Let our friends perish, provided that our enemies fall at the same time. [Lat., Pereant amici, dum una inimici intercidant.]

Man is his own worst enemy. [Lat., Nihil inimicius quam sibi ipse.]

The enemy is within the gates; it is with our own luxury, our own folly, our own criminality that we have to contend

Let us not listen to those who think we ought to be angry with our enemies, and who believe this to be great and manly. Nothing is so praiseworthy, nothing so clearly shows a great and noble soul, as clemency and readiness to forgive.

His deeds do not agree with his words. [Lat., Facta ejus cum dictis discrepant.]

Guilt is present in the very hesitation, even though the deed be not committed. [Lat., In ipsa dubitatione facinus inest, etiamsi ad id non pervererint.]
