Time Ripens All Things; No Man Is

There Is Nothing So Subject To The Inconstancy Of Fortune As War.

A Little In One's Own Pocket Is Better Than Much In Another Man's Purse.

Captivity Is The Greatest Of All Evils That Can Befall One.

Liberty ... Is One Of The Most Valuable Blessings That Heaven Has Bestowed Upon Mankind.

They Must Take Me For A Fool, Or Even Worse, A Lunatic. And No Wonder ,for I Am So Intensely Conscious Of My Misfortune And My Misery Is So Overwhelming That I Am Powerless To Resist It And Am Being Turned Into Stone, Devoid Of All Knowledge Or Feeling.
