Valor Is Abased By Too Much Loftiness.

It Is Cruelty In War That Buyeth Conquest.

It Is The Nature Of The Strong Heart, That Like The Palm Tree It Strives Ever Upwards When It Is Most Burdened.

Since Bodily Strength Is But A Servant To The Mind, It Were Very Barbarous And Preposterous That Force Should Be Made Judge Over Reason.

The Violence Of Sorrow Is Not At The First To Be Striven Withal; Being, Like A Mighty Beast, Sooner Tamed With Following Than Overthrown By Withstanding.

Reason! How Many Eyes Hast Thou To See Evils, And How Dim, Nay, Blind, Thou Art In Preventing Them.
