Excerpt from Life and Letters of John Albert Broadus "Si quis piorum manibus locus; si, ut sapientibus placet, non cum corpore exstinguuntur magnae animae: placide quiescas, nosque, domum tuam, ab infirmo desiderio, et muliebribus lamentis, ad contemplationem virtutum tuarum voces, quas neque lugeri, neque piangi fas est: admiratione te potius, quam temporalibus laudibus, et, si natura suppeditet, aemulatione decoremus. Is verus honos, ea coniunctissimi cuiusque pietas. Id filise quoque, uxorique praeceperim, sic patris, sic mariti memoriam venerari, ut omnia facta dictaque eius secum re voi va nt, famamque ac figuram animi magis quam corporis, complectantur: non quia intercedendum putem imaginibus, quae marmore aut sere finguntur: sed ut vultus hominum, ita simulacra vultus imbecilla ac mortalia sunt; forma mentis aeterna; quam tenere et exprimere, non per alienam materiam et artem, sed tuis ipse moribus, possis. Quidquid ex Agricola amavimus, quidquid mirati sumus, manet mansurumque est in animis hominum, in seternitate temporum, fama rerum. Nam multos veterum, velut inglorios et ignobiles, oblivio obruet: Agricola, posteritati narratus et traditus, superstes er it."
