In Adversity Assume The Countenance Of Prosperity,

Men Are Slower To Recognize Blessings Than Evils.

An Honor Prudently Declined Often Returns With Increased Luster.

Better And Safer Is An Assured Peace Than A Victory Hoped For. The One Is In Your Own Power, The Other Is In The Hands Of The Gods.

Adversity Reminds Men Of Religion.

Persevere In Virtue And Diligence.
