Jests That Give Pains Are No Jests.

Dine On Little, And Sup On Less.

Drink Moderately, For Drunkeness Neither Keeps A Secret, Nor Observes A Promise.

I Can Tell Where My Own Shoe Pinches Me.

For Historians Ought To Be Precise, Truthful, And Quite Unprejudiced, And Neither Interest Nor Fear, Hatred Nor Affection, Should Cause Them To Swerve From The Path Of Truth, Whose Mother Is History, The Rival Of Time, The Depository Of Great Actions, The Witness Of What Is Past, The Example And Instruction Of The Present, The Monitor Of The Future.

Truly I Was Born To Be An Example Of Misfortune, And A Target At Which The Arrows Of Adversary Are Aimed.
