For the great benefits of our being- our life, health, and reason-we look upon ourselves.

The courts of kings are full of people, but empty of friends.

Nothing is our except time.

Know this, that he that is a friend to himself, is a friend to all men.

When in fear, it is safest to force the attack.

Fortune reveres the brave, and overwhelms the cowardly.

The sun also shines on the wicked.

We can be thankful to a friend for a few acres or a little money; and yet for the freedom and command of the whole earth, and for the great benefits of our being, our life, health, and reason, we look upon ourselves as under no obligation.

It is wrong not to give a hand to the fallen. This right is common to the whole human race.

To keep oneself safe does not mean to bury oneself.
