May genius and merit never want a friend.

May the road to happiness be lighted by virtue.

May life last as long as it is worth wearing.

May we never murmur without a cause, and never have a cause to murmur. May the eye that drops for the misfortunes of others never shed a tear of its own. May the lovers of the fair sex never want means to support and spirit to defend them. May the tear of misery be dried by the hand of commiseration. May the voyage of life end in the haven of happi– ness.

Provision to the unprovided.

Peace and honest friendship with all nations; en· tangling a11iances with none.

Riches to the generous and power to the merciful.

Short shoes and long corns to the enemies of freedom.

Success to the lover and joy to the beloved. ·

The life we love, with whom we love.
