The Absolute Good Is Not

Let War Yield To Peace, Laurels To Paeans.

Live As Brave Men; And If Fortune Is Adverse, Front Its Blows With Brave Hearts.

Pardon Is Granted To Necessity.

Wisdom Is The Only Thing Which Can Relieve Us From The Sway Of The Passions And The Fear Of Danger, And Which Can Teach Us To Bear The Injuries Of Fortune Itself With Moderation, And Which Shows Us All The Ways Which Lead To Tranquility And Peace.

It Was Fear That Was Then Making You A Good Citizen, Which Is Never A Lasting Teacher Of Duty.
