AN ANT is a wise creature for itself, but it is a shrewd thing, in an orchard or garden. And certainly, men that are great lovers of themselves, waste the public. Divide with reason; between self-love and society; and be so true to thyself, as thou be not false to others; specially to thy king and country.
Invidia festos dies non agit
Envy keeps no holidays.
A quanta patimur
How great things do we suffer!
Per saltum
Per saltum is a Latin phrase, meaning “hopping”. It is used to mean that someone has reached a position or degree without going through the posts or lower grades according to the established order.
