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