Not Well-built Walls, But Brave Citizens Are

Fighting Men Are The City's Fortress.

Brave Men Are A City's Strongest Tower Of Defence.

Tis Said That Wrath Is The Last Thing In A Man To Grow Old.

Not Houses Finely Roofed Or The Stones Of Walls Well Builded, Nay Nor Canals And Dockyards Make The City, But Men Able To Use Their Opportunity.

To Be Bowed By Grief Is Folly; Naught Is Gained By Melancholy; Better Than The Pain Of Thinking, Is To Steep The Sense In Drinking.
