No one can be a slave of two masters. You cannot serve both God and money.
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
