"The glory of ancestors sheds a light around posterity; it allows neither their good nor bad qualities to remain in ob…" — Sallust

Difficulty is the element, and resistance the true work of a man

You should trust any man in his own art provided he is skilled in it.

It is better to plan less and do more

Do anything rather than give yourself to reverie

It is a greater work to educate a child, in the true and larger sense of the word, than to rule a state

Whatever I engage in, I must push inordinately
