Favor And Honor Sometimes Fall More Fitly

It Takes A Long Time To Bring Excellence To Maturity.

Under The Influence Of Fear, Which Always Leads Men To Take A Pessimistic View Of Things, They Magnified Their Enemies' Resources, And Minimized Their Own.

An Honor Prudently Declined Often Returns With Increased Luster.

We Can Endure Neither Our Vices Nor Their Cure.

Present Sufferings Seem Far Greater To Men Than Those They Merely Dread.
