And as another says: "Non est, ut putas, virtus, pater, Timere vitam; sed malis ingentibus Obstare, nec se vertere, ac retro dare." Or as this: "Rebus in adversis facile est contemnere mortem Fortius ille facit, qui miser esse potest."

Various - Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 59, No. 367, May 1846
