There is nothing man will not attempt when great enterprises hold out the promise of great rewards.

All things will be clear and distinct to the man who does not hurry; haste is blind and improvident.

It is better that a guilty man should not be brought to trial than that he should be acquitted.

I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.

He will have true glory who despises it.

It is rare that one can see in a little boy the promise of a man, but one can almost always see in a little girl the threat of a woman.
