The agony of my soul found vent in one loud$$$ long and final scream of despair.

It is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds$$$ though he risk everything.

To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth.

Virtue does not spring from riches$$$ but riches and all other human blessings$$$ both private and public$$$ from virtue.
