No mortal man has ever served at the same time his passions and his best interests.

A good man would prefer to be defeated than to defeat injustice by evil means

Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.

In battle it is the cowards who run the most risk; bravery is a rampart of defense.

In my own case, who have spent my whole life in the practice of virtue, right conduct from habitual has become natural.

Harmony makes small things grow, lack of it makes great things decay.
