Pleni sunt libri, plenae sapientium voces, plena exemplorum vetustas: quae iacerent in tenebris omnia, nisi litterarum lumen accederet.

Books are full, philosophers are full, and history is full of inspiring examples, which would all be buried in darkness, if the light of literature did not offer them to us. - Cicero

Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem.

Remember in difficult times to keep a level head.  --Horace

Instrue praeceptis animum, ne discere cessa; nam sine doctrina vita est quasi mortis image.

Furnish your mind with precepts, never stop learning; for life without learning is but an image of death.

Iuris praecepta sunt haec: honeste vivere, alterum non lardere, suum cuique tribuere.

The precepts of the law are these:  live honestly, harm no one, and grant each his own. - Corpus Iuris Civilis
