Country Quotes
Virtue is the highest reward. Virtue truly goes before all things. Liberty, safety, life, property, parents, country, and children are protected and preserved. Virtue has all things in herself; he who has virtue has all things that are good attending him. [Lat., Virtus praemium est optimum. Virtus omnibus rebus anteit profecto. Libertas, salus, vita, res, parentes, Patria et prognati tutantur, servantur; Virtus omnia in se habet; omnia assunt bona, quem penes est vertus.]

Giving Quotes

Nor are these two things ever sufficiently adorned, nor is any excess of adornment enough for them. [Lat., Negotii sibi qui volet vim parare, Navem et mulierem, haec duo comparato. Nam nullae magis res duae plus negotii Habent, forte si occeperis exornare. Neque unquam satis hae duae res ornantur, Neque eis ulla ornandi satis satietas est.]
