"Who ever knew truth put to the worse, in a free and open encounter?"

"He who reigns within himself, and rules passions, desires, and fears, is more than a king."

"For what can war, but acts of war still breed, Till injur'd truth from violence be freed?"

"All is not lost, the unconquerable will, And study of revenge, immortal hate, And courage never to submit or yield."

"And the great Emathian conqueror bid spare The house of Pindarus, when temple and tow'r Went to the ground."
