If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.
The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
It is the failing of youth not to be able to restrain its own violence.
In war there is no prize for runner-up.
It is another's fault if he be ungrateful, but it is mine if I do not give. To find one thankful man, I will oblige a great many that are not so.
