Wisdom Triumphs Over Chance.

Great Power Which Incites Great Envy, Hurls Some Men To Destruction; They Are Drowned In A Long Splendid Stream Of Honors.

Such Men As Fortune Raises From A Mean Estate To The Highest Elevation By Way Of A Joke.

It Is A Wretched Thing To Rest Upon The Fame Of Others, Lest, The Supporting Pillar Being Removed, The Superstructure Should Collapse In Ruin.

Rarely They Rise By Virtue's Aid Who Lie Plunged In The Depth Of Helpless Poverty.

Vice Can Deceive Under The Guise And Shadow Of Virtue.
