The Gratitude Of Most Men Is But

Some Allow Themselves To Be Overcome By Panic, And Others Charge Because They Dare Not Remain At Their Posts. Some May Be Found Whose Courage Is Strengthened By Small Perils That Prepare Them To Face Greater Dangers. Some Are Daring When Facing Swords But Dread Facing Bullets; Others Dread Bullets Little But Fear Facing Swords A Lot.

We Should Not Judge A Man's Merits By His Great Qualities, But By The Use He Makes Of Them.

There Is No Praise We Have Not Lavished Upon Prudence; And Yet She Cannot Assure To Us The Most Trifling Event.

Gratitude Is Merely The Secret Hope Of Further Favors.

Second-rate Minds Usually Condemn Everything Beyond Their Grasp.
