    The brave are born from the brave and good. In steers and in
    horses is to be found the excellence of their sire; nor do savage

    [Lat., Fortes creantur fortibus et bonis;
    Est in juvenis, est in equibus patrum
    Virtus; nee imbellem feroces
    Progenerant aquilae columbam.]

Where lives the man that has not tried,
How mirth can into folly glide,
And folly into read more

Where lives the man that has not tried,
How mirth can into folly glide,
And folly into sin!
