Tito Livius

When the situation is adverse and hope is scarce, drastic determinations are the safest.

Fear is always ready to see things worse than they are.

The sun has not yet set for the last time.

Do not give away the happiness of many years for the risk of one hour.

Any effort becomes light with habit.

Let's forget what has already happened, for it can be regretted but not undone.

The truth can be eclipsed but not extinguished.

No favor produces a less permanent gratitude than the gift of freedom, especially among those people who are willing to misuse it.
