Do not grow weary, perform your duty, and act as becomes a good man.

Nothing is more bitter than long uncertainty; some can bear to have their hopes extinguished better than to have them deferred.

Kindness always eager to do good, and one who acts by love naturally acts at once; he who does us good, but does it tardily and with long delays, does not do so from the heart.

We gain much by quickness, and lose much by slowness.
