Where Pride Begins, Love Ceases.

The Prudent See Only The Difficulties, The Bold Only The Advantages, Of A Great Enterprise; The Hero Sees Both; Diminishes The Former And Makes The Latter Preponderate, And So Conquers.

As Man's Love Or Hatred, So He. Love And Hatred Exist Only Personified.

Know In The First Place, That Mankind Agree In Essence, As They Do In Limbs And Senses.

Who, Under Pressing Temptations To Lie, Adheres To Truth, Nor To The Profane Betrays Aught Of A Sacred Trust, Is Near The Summit Of Wisdom And Virtue.

The Ambitious Sacrifices All To What He Terms Honor, As The Miser All To Money.
