| The senate chamber is not open to all; the army, too, is scrupulous in choosing those whom it admits to toil and danger. But a noble mind is free to all men. |

| The sun also shines on the wicked |
| The things hardest to bear are sweetest to remember. |
| The true gentleman spnds a lifetime in careful thought, but not a day in worrying. |
| The voice of flattery affects us after it has ceased, just as after a concert men find some agreeable air ringing in their ears to the exclusion of all serious business |
| The whole world is my native land |
| The willing, Destiny guides them; the unwilling, Destiny drags them |
| The willing, Destiny guides them; the unwilling, Destiny drags them |
