He Who Allows Himself To Be Insulted

He Who Forgives Readily Only Invites Offense.

One Is Often Guilty By Being Too Just.

I Am Roman, Alas, Because Horace Is Roman.

Generosity Is The Accompaniment Of High Birth; Pity And Gratitude Are Its Attendants.

He Who Allows Himself To Be Insulted Deserves To Be So; And Insolence, If Unpunished, Increases! [lat., Qui Se Laisse Outrager, Merite Qu'on L'outrage Et L'audace Impunie Enfle Trop Un Courage.]
